Research shows that students are more engaged when they are challenged to think critically, and can connect the content to their lived experiences. This "Equity Tool" is designed to assist educators in reviewing curricula to determine if it supports equitable and responsive mathematics learning experiences. Additionally, this tool can also serve as a starting point for curriculum development.

Many youth in the DACA Program have made the United States their home and have lived in the country the majority of their lives. Since its inception, DACA has been a source of contention for many, opponents argue that DACA has decreased the educational budget whereas others proponents of DACA focus on the educational opportunities it presents.
