As mathematics teachers, we establish several norms, expectations, rules, and daily routines that result in culture building. Hence, in my classes, I decided to center the norms and culture building around five Rs: (1) rigor, (2) relevance, (3) responsiveness, (4) relationship, and (5) responsibility. Using these five Rs provided a norm to engage in our mathematical activities and reflections and established the expectation that everyone would contribute to mathematics teaching and learning (Boyce et al. 2021). Thus, this reflection describes how articles published this year (2021) in Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK–12 (MTLT
