Getting to the Core - S3E1 - Culturally Responsive Mathematics Getting to the Core with Wayne RESA

What is “Culturally Responsive Mathematics?”

Using the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM.org) definition, Culturally Responsive Mathematics seeks to promote a positive mathematical identity in students by providing tasks that are relevant, personal and meaningful to students.

What does this approach look like, how does it differ from previous approaches to teaching mathematics, and how are students in Washtenaw, Oakland and Wayne County responding to this Tri-County initiative?

Join us as we learn from our regional experts, who are pioneering this work across our three counties:


Jennifer Banks, Ph.D., Director of Instruction, Washtenaw ISD
Yarisha Johnson, Mathematics Education Consultant, Oakland Schools
Cherron Ramsey, Mathematics Education Consultant, Wayne RESA
