The article makes the claim that these are examples of white supremacy in math:
*The focus is on getting the “right” answer.
*Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.
*“Real-world math” is valued over math in the real world.
*Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).
*Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.
Can someone enlighten me here? I always thought of math as the great equalizer.
- tjr 6y agoDo they offer any examples of "not right" answers that are deemed acceptable?
