A Missouri school district is now making its math curriculum more gender inclusive<\/a>, updating word problems and other language-based math equations with “they\/them” pronouns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As presented in a Webster Groves School District “math program evaluation” last week, non-binary people will be represented in “word and contextual” problems via the pronouns, alongside regular gendered people using he\/she pronouns.<\/p>\n

Local outlet KCRG-TV reported<\/a> that during the presentation, Webster Groves Math Curriculum Coordinator Susan Bergman claimed that the inclusion of the non-binary pronouns will “help students develop their \u2018mathematical identities,” and move them to “see the beauty, joy, and connectedness of mathematics as a way to see, make sense of and change our world.”<\/p>\n

The school district announced that it has decided to update the curriculum in such a way based on the feedback of students, parents and teachers who participated in a survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to the poll showing support for more inclusive language in math, student “empathy” interviews were included in the consideration for the update.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Webster Groves math evaluation presentation argued that it is a “persistent myth within math education that since \u2018numbers are universal,\u2019 math classrooms are objective and free of bias.”<\/p>\n

It added that “Research shows clearly that any space where learning occurs is neither free of bias nor resistant to oppressive systems<\/a> such as racism, sexism, classism or xenophobia.”<\/p>\n

The inclusion of “they\/them” pronouns will serve to lessen the existence of sexism or xenophobia in math class, so the theory goes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The presentation claimed, “scholars have demonstrated the ways that mathematics socialization and mathematics identity development are critical aspects to the learning and participation of students, particularly Black students.”<\/p>\n

A database on GreatSchools.org\u2019s shows that Webster Groves\u2019 student body is 76% White students and 13% Black.<\/p>\n

School board members have unanimously embraced these more inclusive word problems being implemented in their institutions, and they plan to go even further.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to continue making strides with its woke curriculum updates, Webster Groves staff plans to meet with the District\u2019s DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion<\/a>) director to come up with more progressive updates to curriculum.<\/p>\n

The district will also work with “Math314,” a Washington University in St. Louis mathematics program created to enhance the math courses at local K-12 schools.<\/p>\n

A brochure for the program indicates that Math314 supports teachers to “create learning environments where all students are provided equitable access to mathematics.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
