Abstract
The authors of this chapter propose that the decolonization of Western course content and teaching practice is one of the necessary next steps to build a more equitable and inclusive mathematics curriculum in Qatar. Decolonization of curriculum and pedagogy involves a multilayered process including recognition of constraints placed upon curriculum and pedagogy, a disruption of these constraints, and a creation of alternatives. In this chapter, the authors outline three areas of concern: non-Eurocentric representation, single ways of learning, and elitism in mathematics; and offers pedagogical strategies as a roadmap forward towards decolonization of mathematics curriculum. This is followed by a description of a series of workshops designed for and held with teachers in the community. Finally, the authors present data about teacher perceptions of adopting culturally relevant storytelling as a tool for math education when combined with best practices in mathematics pedagogy.
