Abstract
Mathematics interwoven with Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) EntreMunods is an ontological playground for youth liberation, where mathematical learning helped to create an experience where youth empower themselves by engaging in critical social science research. In this study, seven stages of conocimientos are expanded to help understand how consciousness shifts while engaged in mathematics. Thematic analysis of student reflections on the YPAR mathematics activities revealed how students developed a mathematical critical consciousness. This manuscript is a theatrical conceptualizing of the Math YPAR experience, leading to development of the Mathematics with|in Conocimientos framework; seven mathematical embodiments or stages that once experienced, represent a change in mathematical consciousness. In situating mathematics as a guiding epistemology, method, and pedagogy to the YPAR methodological design, this study highlights the transformative power of mathematics rooted in challenging systemic injustices.
