“When Ss are constantly exposed to the trope of the isolated genius, they may struggle to see themselves as capable mathematicians. However, when educators use pop culture to prompt inquiry, inviting students to question, connect & critique, they create a space where belonging becomes possible.”

“If mathematics is central to social justice, those of us who care about social justice cannot afford to leave math education out of the equation. And we certainly cannot leave mathematics in the hands of those for whom social justice is not a priority.”

There is no route to social justice without math and math education. Absent rigorous math courses, students’ academic paths are sharply curtailed, but racialized tracking is endemic. Plus measuring social outcomes requires data and statistics. Read Pamela Burdman’s new blog for @edtrust.bsky.social
