Popis: Social justice mathematics pedagogies envision students “writing the world” with mathematics, in ways that often involve literal rather than metaphorical writing. However, neither the textual form nor the pedagogical processes of developing these persuasive mathematical compositions are envisioned clearly in current mathematics education research. In this poster, we present several samples of social justice mathematics writing responding to an idealized model of the COVID-19 epidemic. One was written by an undergraduate calculus student and others are “creative writing” by professors who are answering the classroom task as if they were students. Through this poster, we hope to create conversation about how students can demonstrate both mathematical knowledge and social awareness through a written text.
