Math equity doesnt mean 1 + 1 = 2.
The term refers to the growing insistence among educators that teaching math in the classroom comes with some inherently biased methodology that must be addressed.
Proponents of math equity also stress the importance of social justice issues such as race, diversity and gender in math education a trend thats catching on.
More professors and educators are tweeting under the hashtag #MathEquity to share strategies on the topic, and webinars and other pedagogical sessions on it abound.

Good thing they aren’t actually going to try to teach them math. They might REALLY screw something up then.
Please clap.
So these ‘educators’ are fighting racism by proclaiming that non whites are genetically / mentally inferior and incapable of learning math.
How do deal with insanity at this level?
Good thing we put a man on the moon 50 years again, as we won’t do it again w/o off shore outsourcing. That solves the white problem
“How do deal with insanity at this level?”
Continue proclaiming that EQUALITY in EVERYTHING, for everybody is a reasonable goal ?
I home-schooled my kids. I guess I’ll need to teach my grand-kids reading and math before kindergarten, so the “educators” won’t mess them up too bad on the fundamentals.
Aah, point taken.
What are they going to do about Orientals who eat whitey’s lunch in math?
How else? If they're normal kids, they'll love it and you'll love it. But you'd have to see them every other day, at least. Which isn't a bad thing.
The joke of all of these theories is that what they are saying is racist by definition. They are saying because of the color of ones skin or their ethnic city they are not capable of understanding hard facts like math. They are saying that certain races are in capable of learning something that other races can learn.
So who are the racists?
The methodology is called "thinking". I guess that is biased...
lol...What no abacus?
Learning math is also hard work and not a lot of fun.
Hard work is so “white”! ;-)
If you think math has anything with race, you dont what math even is.
“...Think the idiots you speak of are secret white supremacists ?...”
??????????????????????????????????
This activity is racist.
They’re declaring that the minds of certain human beings don’t work the same as others because of skin color.
