Math will be interdisciplinary, building connections to other other subjects and applying math to other subjects inside the school and extended the product of math-learning outside the school walls. Data Feminism, Data Science, social justice applications, and the links between Math and Art will all be explored.

A social justice approach works to transform mathematics from a gatekeeper to a gateway, democratizing participation and maximizing education advancement that equitably benefits all children rather than a select few. In her book, Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues, Dr. Monique Morris argues that girls need the ability to identify and critique the systems of oppression they confront. Thus, social justice is an important element of education, particularly for marginalized students who are part of socially, culturally distinct and subjugated communities. Teachers’ ability to implement culturally responsive schooling is vital because these students need to constantly negotiate classroom demands while exhibiting cultural competence. Moreover, since girls’ self-perception of mathematics ability can predict mathematics achievement, teachers who build on the cultural knowledge of Black girls can influence that self-perception, which then can increase the likelihood of positive views of mathematics among Black women and girls.
