Top Tweets for #TakeBackMath
@david_parker Tbf, the Woke, in an unparalleled act of Iron Law of Woke Projection, launched its Woke math and ethnomathematics programs with the hashtag #TakeBackMath.
Our paper is being considered by the British Society for Research into Learning Mathematics for the Janet Duffin Award, as most significant article in Research in Mathematics Education journal in 2023 #mathed #takebackmath
BUT presenting those systems as inevitable and unmalleable, without reimagining them, & overlooking the vast inequalities they create and reinscribe obscures that math education potentially holds liberatory purposes #takebackmath
I tweet and few people reply or comment.
This guy often tweets screenshots of my tweets which generate a lot of views and comments. Almost as if I work for him 😂 #takebackmath
Anti-trans, anti-queer beliefs and policies
are just that: anti-equality and anti-human rights. Bigoted and unjust. Oh and anti-me, anti- my friends, and anti-my family.
Don't bring math into this.
The math itself doesn't add up #takebackmath
GLB's example of 2 chickens + 2 foxes = 2 foxes is a favorite🐔🐔🦊🦊 #takebackmath
Anti-trans, anti-queer, anti-gay
beliefs
and policies built on those beliefs
get shored up by "2+2=4" #iteachmath #takebackmath
@Idil_A_ They use 2+2=4 as shorthand to refer to what they see as a natural order- tidy, clear-cut, God given. Take away the 2+2=4 and that allows questioning the rest of the perceived natural order
How does power get exercised, and what about math?
Thinking back on this public exchange with a senior ed colleague
Him: (ridicules need for reading lists to connect to students)
Me: Wait! No, and no to the ridicule!
Him: But Galois Theory

@siwelwerd @MarissaKawehi “Encourages focusing on “contributions that historically marginalized people have made to mathematics” rather than on those contributions themselves which have been essential to the academic discipline of mathematics.” Reminds me of another tweet cc: @Laurie_Rubel @GizemKaraali_
learning, data literacy, and social justice? read about it here #iteachmath #mathed #takebackmath https://t.co/E14YnC55gE
mathematics, power, & place? we wrote about place-based learning in math https://t.co/8RO5Q9PgiG

#takebackmath is a fascinating set of tweets to read. I'd worry about these people but anyone who thinks math is racist will ignore road signs ("Katonah exit 1 mile") and odometers and eventually drive into a lake or off a cliff and it'll work out for the rest of us.
critical mathematics (more):
when might math not be the best way to solve a problem?
how does math exacerbate inequalities?
whose mathematical ideas do we study and why and for what purposes?
#takebackmath
that's why people reference "2+2=4" in racist, anti-trans, anti-queer talk, ETC. because in their view, opening up math & how we teach it would imply a challenge to a natural order they hold as sacred, one in which white ppl & usually men are at the helm #takebackmath
it's this, again and again #takebackmath
Here's another: Repeat, ON LOOP, "of course math is neutral because 2+2=4." Rely on that supposed axiom to then target ppl (& especially women) for coordinated ridicule/harassment. Never stray from this LOOP because it's an easy one to engage every Tom Dick & Harry to engage
2+2=4 is shorthand for the take that math is objective (and not a cultural product).No textbook says what is quoted here, but there are curricula that open up math as a cultural product and center students as learners. This is what these ppl in FL are objecting to. #takebackmath
who is slumping? #takebackmath
