This guide provides teachers and education leaders with sample lessons designed to support culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE) in mathematics. CRSE aims to create affirming and inclusive learning environments in which students see their cultural identities and lived experiences reflected in their learning. At its core, CRSE connects students’ backgrounds with the content and the skills they develop in school.
Developed by teachers, these sample lessons reflect five essential characteristics of CRSE-aligned math curriculum materials: affirming racial and cultural identities, cultivating agency and belonging, building critical consciousness, centering diverse perspectives, and prioritizing student learning and academic success. This resource offers practical examples of how math instruction can be both rigorous and culturally meaningful, ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive.
