This session will focus on utilizing a social justice framework for elementary mathematics instruction that honors the intersectional identities of elementary-aged mathematicians. In this session, participants will experience whole group and small group discussions, curriculum adaption, and concrete classroom examples. Participants will walk away with ideas and resources to adapt their yearlong mathematics curriculum to incorporate Bree Picower's (2012) "Six Elements of Social Justice Curriculum Design for the Elementary Classroom."
