مستخلص: Calls for high levels of participation and success in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) by all Australians exacerbates the need for research into improving participation in mathematics by students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Rogoff's three planes of analysis is used to foreground the institutional plane in a low socioeconomic status school with sustained increased enrolments in Mathematics B (now replaced by Mathematics Methods). Processes in this plane are examined by drawing on semi-structured interviews with a Deputy Principal and Head of Mathematics. Contributing factors appear to be the way that the Mathematics Program and Pastoral Care Program are delivered at the school.
