Culturally sustaining pedagogy validates students' identities and fosters a sense of belonging and empowerment. Educators attending this session will explore methods for creating a more inclusive learning environment by integrating students' diverse experiences into the math classroom. Through the lens of multiple free desmos classroom lessons, participants will learn how to use a problem-based approach to intentionally increase curiosity and build upon students’ ideas in an effort to provide all learners with access to on-grade-level mathematics.
