Maths and Numeracy
This resource is designed to help you bring anti-racist practice into maths and numeracy lessons.
Apply the Anti-racist Maths Framework to different maths topics set in real world contexts.
Work with the Teaching Materials which exemplify how to apply the Anti-Racist Maths Framework to teaching within the three strands of the maths curriculum.
This resource was shaped by young people, teachers, academics, numeracy leads and critical friends across Scotland and co-created with Dr Corinne Angier, Professor Pete Wright, Dr Jasmeen Kanwal, and Titilayo Farukuoye, writer and anti-racist educator.
Resources for teaching
Explore the framework, starter activities and classroom materials.
Anti-racist Maths Framework
The Anti-racist Maths Framework can be used across any topic, at any level, to support an anti-racist approach to maths. Use the framework as a lens for planning, learning and reflection rather than as an additional area of study.

Professional learning & teacher voices
Build your understanding and hear how teachers are putting anti-racist maths into practice.
Self-Guided Professional Learning for Teachers
The three self-guided Professional Learning sessions are designed to be used by individual practitioners, groups or whole maths departments. They are appropriate for both primary and secondary settings and combine theory, reflection and practical activities which familiarise teachers with the anti-racism framework and teaching materials in this resource. It is anticipated that each session would last at least 30 minutes and it is suggested they are worked through in order.
The sessions are not designed as a comprehensive anti-racism training package. To further explore anti-racism and develop your practice, contact your local Development Education Centre or check Signposts for Global Citizenship for free twilight training sessions which will be available throughout the session.
You may also wish to enrol on the Building Racial Literacy programme led by Education Scotland. You can sign up for this here.
