Subject: Multicultural Education

How would I teach multicultural education through mathematics?  I 
understand that mathematics in itself is multicultural with its parts 
coming from all around the world, but how can I integrate this into a 
math lesson for either late elementary students or middle level 
children?  Initially, I need to start with a value statement, such 
as "Equality is good" or "Discrimination is bad," which in itself seems 
difficult when considering math in mind.  So, how can I incorporate 
multicultural education with my value statement in a lesson of 
mathematics?
