Upper Elementary Mathematics Lessons to Explore, Understand, and Respond to Social Injustice
Wednesday, March 29, 2023
5:30 – 7:00 PM ET

In this session, we will explore teaching math for social justice (TMSJ) in early elementary grades. Participants will learn about and explore a social justice mathematics lesson template, connect to math and social justice standards, and will actively engage in a math lesson to explore, understand, and respond to social injustice. Participants will critically reflect on the possibilities and tensions of teaching math for social justice.
