Advancing Equity in Mathematics Education: Innovative Approaches for Diverse Learners

Fri, April 25, 1:30 to 3:00pm MDT (1:30 to 3:00pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3B

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session explores cutting-edge approaches to promoting equity and inclusivity in mathematics education across diverse student populations. Presentations showcase innovative strategies and research findings addressing achievement gaps, supporting students with disabilities, and enhancing learning outcomes. Topics include using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to teach exponential functions to visually impaired students; examining how online learning platforms can mitigate racial achievement gaps; investigating unproductive struggle among linguistically diverse elementary students; analyzing middle school teachers' implementation of social justice teaching guidelines; and studying teachers' use of problem posing across student ability levels. These presentations offer valuable insights into creating more inclusive, equitable, and effective mathematics instruction, with implications for policy, practice, and future research in mathematics education.
