One example of the new approach is using Egyptian pyramids to explain trigonometry.

Well, the pyramids are in fact in Africa, but they were not built by blacks. Maybe they should call it Arabcentric math.

Many black slave were needed to raise the pyramids. Just saying.

The pyramids were Egyptian, a "race"* of people distinct from black sub-saharan Africans

They weren't "Arabs" -neither were then, nor, really today except culturally and linguistically.

The ancient Egyptians from the time of Menes (3000 BC) to at least 1000 AD were mainly of Afro-Asiatic stock - related to Berbers (Touregs, Maghrebin), Semites (Arabs, Hebrew/Jews, Akkadians, Amorites, Syrians etc) and Cushitic peoples (Somalis, Ethiopians)

The pyramids were definitely not built by slaves. It looks like they were built by famers during the months when the Nile flooded their fields (and laid down fertile soil for the next sowing)

*race is used as any grouping of people who are physically differnt, so you could have the Irish race as distinct from the English (which is the basis of a lot of anti-Irish racism in the 1800s). If one wants to use bone structure, features etc. then Caucasians are of various skin colors -- from the black skinned Dravidians to the pale Irish.
