Equity in Mathematics Education Theory

Equity in mathematics education refers to the principle of providing all students with fair opportunities to learn and succeed, regardless of their background, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. It involves recognizing and addressing systemic barriers that may hinder some students’ access to quality math instruction, resources, and support. The goal is to create an inclusive learning environment where every student’s potential is valued and nurtured, ensuring that differences are understood and accommodated rather than ignored. Ultimately, equity aims to achieve fairness and justice in math education, fostering success for all learners.
