Towards More Inclusive Mathematics: Opening up the Standards for Mathematical Practice
Abstract
The authors use the concept of expanding the curriculum to demonstrate how the Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice can include a space for kindness within the mathematics classroom. The authors examine current mathematics practice standards and reflect on how personal tenets create a space for teaching mathematical practices framed in kindness.
