• Superficial curriculum changes are offered to address culturally
relevant pedagogy and practice.
• State standards guide learning in the classroom.
• Procedural fluency is preferred over conceptual knowledge.
• “Good” math teaching is considered an antidote for mathematical inequity
for Black, Latinx, and multilingual students.
• Rigor is expressed only in difficulty.
• “I do, we do, you do” is the format of the class.
• Students are required to “show their work.”
• Grading practices are focused on lack of knowledge.
