Culturally responsive mathematics education

09 Feb 2023

Professor Jodie Hunter from Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa | Massey University shares insights from her extensive classroom-based research into the use of culturally responsive approaches to teaching and learning mathematics in primary school. The webinar explores the importance of using high quality tasks to provide equitable and culturally responsive opportunities for Pasifika and Māori students to engage in productive mathematical learning, and offers ways that teachers can explicitly connect to and build on the cultural, social, linguistic, and political contexts of all their students.
