Resources to bring Ethics in Mathematics and Ethical Reasoning into your Classroom

Materials featured below were created by a team of teacher-scholars who were part of cohort funded by NSF 2220423/2220395/2220314 and participated in a series of workshops on incorporating ethics into mathematics. Creators have piloted, modified, and tested materials in a variety of courses. All materials should be cited to the authors if used or adapted.

Introduction

Visit here for some background and an introduction to teaching ethics in your mathematics classroom.

Calculus I

While many classroom resources may be appropriate across many classes, here you can find Calculus I specific exercises.

Calculus II

While many classroom resources may be appropriate across many classes, here you can find Calculus II specific exercises.

Courses for Math Majors (first-year highlighted)

Examples of classroom materials introducing ethics in mathematics to your students–in particular those studying mathematics.

Differential Equations

Broadly speaking these activities would be appropriate for incorporating ethics into an undergraduate Differential Equations course

Abstract Algebra/Cryptography Courses

These activities are appropriate for a junior/senior senior course (as an activity) or in an abstract algebra or number theory course
