How can we root mathematics in humanity so that every learner finds meaning and belonging? Can a math lesson spark curiosity, agency, and social change all at once? Join this interactive session to explore strategies for making math meaningful, relevant, and socially conscious. Participants will learn how to integrate technology, real-life contexts, and social justice into mathematics instruction while using the Culturally Responsive-Sustaining STEAM Curriculum Scorecard to reflect on their own practices. Through engaging collaboration and analysis of Illustrative Mathematics lessons, attendees will leave equipped with concrete tools, such as math lesson examples incorporating social justice topics, and the following steps to center student identity, community, and justice in math learning, which fulfills TODOS’ mission of mathematics for all through purposeful, equity-driven teaching.
