#173 Research in Action 21: Developing culturally responsive mathematics education with Jodie Hunter

Jodie Hunter is a visiting professor at Loughborough University
from Massey University, New Zealand. We discuss developing
culturally responsive mathematics education in classrooms with
students from diverse ethnic groups including Indigenous and
migrant groups through building on culture as a strength.


This is part of my Research in Action mini-series, where I
interview a researcher from the Mathematics Education Centre
at Loughborough University about their chosen area of
interest, and the implications for maths teaching and learning.
