Education pedagogy

In this assignment, you need to engage with cultural aspects of mathematics and share your
reflections on this engagement with the wider education community.
1. Choose a topic of interest that relates to either contemporary applications of mathematics, the
history of mathematics, or ethnomathematics. Independently or collaboratively, source and read
appropriate material on your chosen topic.
2. Create and maintain a reflective blog, showing how your thinking about mathematics is impacted by
your reading. In particular, reflect on how this reading enables you to contextualise learning to meet
the learning needs of a particular social context.
3. Share your knowledge and critical interpretation into a culturally responsive pedagogical approach
with others through online discussions, via presentation at a conference or in a contribution to a
collaborative publication. Your culturally responsive pedagogical approach should aim to create an
inclusive classroom learning environment for children in diverse or specifies social contexts.
