Overview
Math class can and should be a place where racial equity is advanced. Racial inequity is a problem in the United States, and it is not one that can be left at the classroom door. Systemic racism and its effects find ways into our interactions with and expectations of each other. While it might seem that math class is removed from social issues like racism, math teachers can promote racial equity in powerful ways! In this two-part series, we will explore what we as teachers can do in our classrooms to create safe and equitable spaces that disrupt the effects of racism and nurture our students' mathematical identities.
