Resources

Below are some resources developed by others that support the exploration and implementation of Social Justice Mathematics (SJM). While there are many differences between SJM and Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), there are also many similarities, which is why you will notice some resources from researchers of CRT.

1. Social Justice Standards (Learning for Justice)

2. Learning Plan Builder (Learning for Justice)

3. Dimensions of Equity (Zaretta Hammond)

4. CRCD Math Task Framework (Matthew, L., Jones, S., & Parker, Y.A., 2013)

5. A Guide for Integrating Issues of Social and Economic Justice into Mathematics Curriculum (Jonathan Osler)

6. High School Mathematics Lessons to Explore, Understand, and Respond to Social Injustice (Robert Q. Berry III, Basil M. Conway IV, Brian R. Lawler, & John W. Staley)

7. Anti-Racism Resources for all ages (Nicole A. Cooke)

8. Resources for talking about race, racism, and racialized violence with kids (Center for Racial Justice in Education)
