Visions of a Rehumanized Mathematics: Resource Hub (Fall 2021)

"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those difference.'"
—Audre Lorde

Week 1: Laying the Groundwork

Check out at least one of GLSEN’s State Snapshots from the 2019 National Climate Survey (Preferably yours, but there are only 40 states available so that might not be possible)

Read Kai Rands’s “Mathematical Inqu[ee]ry: Beyond ‘Add-Queers-and-Stir’ Elementary Mathematics Education”, (2009)
Try using Yeh & Rubel’s Qs on some of your own word problems you encounter in the next 2 weeks (we will start next time by sharing about it!)

Read: Waid & Turner’s “ Inqu[ee]ry Across the Curriculum”, (2021)
Check out the wonderings the students from the Camp of Mathematical Queeries came up with based on this image. - Question to ponder: What mathematical activities could we design to explore those wonderings, while sticking to the tenants of mathematical inqueery?
Share your feedback

Set a goal: Identify one goal for yourself in relation to implementing your learning from this series. Set a deadline for the goal.
With your goal in mind: Select one task, unit, or other item that you would like to apply a queer lens to.
- Take some notes on how you might use one (or all three) of the approaches we've discussed in past weeks to queer the unit, lesson, problem, task, etc. and bring them to our last session!
Check out the shared resource Jamboard - per one of your suggestions.
Share your feedback

As you further develop the items you discussed this last week, send me your items so I can give you personalized feedback! Include information about:
- Context (what should I know about the item you are sending?)
- Content Standards/ Grade Level
- How do you plan to "queer" it?
- On what do you most want feedback?
Provide me with YOUR feedback - your feedback will be essential for me to improve the course for it's next offering. 🙂
