Research on culturally responsive mathematics education for Indigenous and marginalized learners has grown in Australia and New Zealand. Studies emphasize Indigenous knowledge, decolonization, and culturally aligned teaching while addressing challenges. Parental involvement, immigrant experiences, and teacher development are key focus areas. Findings support inclusive education that values diverse cultural perspectives.

Recent Australasian research on equity in mathematics education for low SES(Socioeconomic Status) students primarily uses large-scale quantitative data, often from Australia. Studies show that school SES is a stronger predictor of achievement than individual SES, with parental education also playing a key role. Rural and remote students benefit from incorporating local culture and context into teaching, but city-centric models disadvantage them. Policy recommendations focus on reducing school segregation, enriching learning opportunities, and leveraging community relationships for better outcomes.

Future research should focus on intersectionality, longitudinal studies, and underrepresented participant groups in mathematics education equity. More theoretical frameworks and positionality statements are needed for transparency. Gender studies should incorporate non-binary perspectives and critical frameworks, while culturally responsive mathematics education requires mixed-methods research. Further exploration
