Abstract

This article advocates for the (not yet common) goal of mathematics education to advance peace, harmony, and respect among people and, consequently, to reduce discord. This outcome can be accomplished by utilizing Ethnomathematics, and we offer suggestions for cultivating an Ethnomathematics orientation and employing associated classroom practices.
