I’m a future high school math educator and a large theme in all of my classes is working Justice Standards into teaching, so I’m curious as to how you all as math educators do that because I’m absolutely lost.

It kinda depends on what your school district pushes. Not all states will push for that. You may be lucky and all you have to do is math instruction, instead of all manner of other things that should be embedded into social studies or other classes.

I don’t

Here are some tips on how to work justice standards into your math classroom:

Start by reflecting on your own biases. We all have biases, and it's important to be aware of them so that we can avoid perpetuating them in our classrooms. Take some time to think about your own beliefs about race, gender, class, and other social identities. How might these beliefs impact your teaching?
Make sure your classroom is a safe space for all students. This means creating a space where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas, even if they are different from the majority. It also means being respectful of all students' backgrounds and experiences.
Use math to explore real-world issues. There are many ways to use math to explore social justice issues. For example, you could have students use math to research the effects of poverty on education, or to develop solutions to environmental problems.
Teach students about the history of mathematics. The history of mathematics is full of stories of people from all backgrounds who have made significant contributions to the field. By teaching students about this history, you can help them to see that mathematics is not just the domain of white, male mathematicians.
Partner with your community. There are many organizations in your community that are working to address social justice issues. Partnering with these organizations can help you to bring real-world problems into your classroom and to give students opportunities to take action.
Incorporating justice standards into your math classroom can be a challenge, but it is also an important and rewarding endeavor. By doing so, you can help your students to develop the critical thinking skills they need to be active participants in a just society

Yes that is a BARD answer lol bc I don’t even know what justice standards are 🤷‍♂️
