“What is my math identity?”
Seattle’s largest public school district is considering a proposal that would infuse math courses with elements of social justice, including studying how math has been “appropriated by Western culture” and is used to “oppress and marginalize people and communities of color.”
The proposed framework presents four themes for teachers to include in their K-12 math courses. The themes include how mathematical theories are “rooted in the ancient histories of people and empires of color,” how contributions of communities of color to the field are ignored, and how learning math can be “an act of liberation.”
Students will ask introspective questions like “What is my mathematical identity?” “How does it feel to be a Mathematician?” and “What fears do we have about math?”
