In the MaSDiV project, a EU funded project that aims to support maths and science teachers in accommodating cultural, socioeconomic and performance related diversity in their classrooms (2017-2020), by the use of inquiry-based learning, we developed both classroom materials and materials for professional development. With those materials we support teachers (and teacher trainers) to foster students’ understanding of fundamental values of our society through their maths and science lessons. In MaSDiV the teacher training was evaluated in a number of European countries, and the evaluation was used to update both PD and classroom materials. In this workshop we will show the development of those materials, the design principles used, the ways in which the materials were used in both PD and classroom, and an overview of the final products.
