This theoretical paper describes how Community-based Mathematical Modeling can advance equity and cultivate civic empathy in elementary school settings. We provide a framework for community-based mathematical modeling instruction consisting of five goals: facilitating connections, fostering engagement, promoting rigor, cultivating civic empathy, and elevating justice. We illustrate how these goals work together to advance equity and cultivate civic empathy through classroom vignettes of community-based modeling lessons. Through this theoretical synthesis, implications for community-based mathematical modeling instruction will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...
