I think mathematics can be connected with social/environmental justice. The author tries to connect mathematics with the society and environment. We can relate mathematics to daily examples so that students understand how mathematics can be applied to their lives, helping them solve many problems. Social justice can be introduced in word problems but I think the focus of mathematics should be the mathematical knowledge and skills. Generally, I think the mathematical analysis of data is most suitable for society/environmental justice. Students can understand more clearly about the social situations with the support of the mathematical analysis.

Data analysis is definitely an area where social justice issues can intersect with mathematics. The more difficult task is connecting social justice with other mathematical topics!
