A toolkit for envisioning an equitable and engaging Math future
Imagine a future where students and teachers share power, schools connect with the world, and students are excited about math. This is the future we envision for all students, especially those marginalized by today's system. Based on insights from our report, this toolkit helps envision equitable, and liberatory math education for the decades ahead.
Design math learning experiences for today, and the future
This toolkit empowers you to design innovative math learning for your community. Using the included cards, you’ll create future-focused math experiences. There's no single correct approach, but guidance is provided to help you make the most of the toolkit. It can be used solo or in groups; for group work, teams of 4-5 are ideal to ensure everyone contributes. Dive in, explore possibilities, and enjoy the process!
Educators, students, product teams, investors, and more
This toolkit is designed for a diverse range of users, including educators seeking to innovate in the classroom, students eager to reimagine their learning experiences, product teams developing educational tools, and investors looking to support future-focused education. It provides a flexible framework for all stakeholders to collaboratively design and envision the future of math education.
How to use it
The toolkit is made up of a deck of cards, a guide, and a notepad. The cards are divided into four categories:
Stakeholders, Future Objects and Environments, Principles and Outcomes, and "What if".
Using theses cards, you'll design and discuss the future of a math classroom.
Deal category cards
Select one card from each of the four categories. Keep the “What If?” that you've selected face down for now.
Take a prompts sheet
Take the prompts and use them to create your future math experience.
Create an experience
Use the Stakeholder, Future Object/Environment, and Principle/Outcome cards to design a new math experience. Use paper or a whiteboard to tell your story.
Turn a "What if?" card
Just when you think you have your math experience designed, turn over the “What If?” card. You’ll now have to adjust your math experience to respond to the “What If?” scenario on the card.
Reflect and share
Reflect on the math experience you've created, and the things that have come up for you when working through the prompts and "What if" scenario!
