DESCRIPTION:The quest to improve educational experiences and outcomes for 
 indigenous Māori students is a\ndominant feature of the educational lands
 cape in Aotearoa/New Zealand. In this presentation I\nexplore competing vi
 sions of what ‘socially just’ mathematics education might mean in this
 \ncontext\, drawing on examples including the controversy around mixed att
 ainment teaching\nversus setting\, and knowledge versus skills. In doing s
 o\, I draw on two sources: 1) The New\nZealand Curriculum (2007) and other
  official policy documents\; and 2) interviews and focus\ngroups with seco
 ndary mathematics teachers from two related studies. Through this analysis
  I\ndevelop the argument that some debates which appear highly ideological
  or values-based may\nbe more empirical than they appear\, and that mathem
 atics education research\, skilfully\ncommunicated\, has much to offer in 
 these domains.\n\n*Aotearoa is a Māori word\, now also commonly used with
 in New Zealand English\, for the\nislands known internationally as New Zea
 land
