Equity in School Mathematics Education: How Can Research Contribute?
NCTM Research Committee
The NCTM Research
Committee has prepared this article as a means to raise the awareness about
equity and issues surrounding equity from a research perspective as well as
to support the NCTM's commitment to the Equity Principle. The committee discusses the concept of equity from three
perspectives: as a subject of research, as a "critical lens" with which to examine research, and as a
cross-disciplinary theme. Equity issues offer a unique opportunity to unite
research and practice within mathematics education and across other
disciplines.
