  1. Mathematics teaching produces and reproduces social injustice. It also has the potential to disrupt patterns of inequity and advance just communities of practice. Drawing from literature on equitable mathematics teaching, we analyze the work of leading a discussion of student solutions in ways that nurture healthy identities, relationships and societies. From a conceptual analysis of a Norwegian mathematics lesson, we first identify dynamics of race and gender at play, then identify three key aspects of mathematics teaching that can serve to disrupt these dynamics while creating opportunities for alternative identities, relationships and futures: (i) having regard for property and its use; (ii) taking up student thinking as participatory citizenship; and (iii) orchestrating collective mathematical work. We discuss nuances of this work and implications for research on teaching.
