Type: article

Abstract: The overall objective of this paper is to express the reflections made during the opening panel of the VI National Forum on Mathematics Curriculum, held between October 9 and 11, 2024, in the city of Montes Claros. In terms of structure, the paper begins with the considerations of Zaqueu Vieira Oliveira, who discusses how the history of Mathematics can act as an ally of Mathematics education in promoting social justice. Next, Maria do Carmo de Sousa, based on a concept of curriculum justice, analyzes the Mathematics curriculum, defending anti-racist Mathematics Education. Finally, Flavio Augusto Leite Taveira articulates the discussions held with the curriculum debate in the field of Mathematics Education.
