"A significant amount of study has been carried out using the
conceptual framework of "funds of information" (González et al.,
2015). What is evident from studies such as those mentioned in
Civil and Andrade (2018) is that a huge amount of work is needed
to bridge the gap between the information capital of families
(related to home mathematics) and the knowledge related to
classroom mathematics. This is due to many reasons, but one that
seems to be shared between the contexts of the United States and
the United Kingdom involves the valorization of education (de
Abreu 2019, 2018), including conceptions of "what counts" as
mathematics, or what kind of learning is sufficient for the
classroom.
