Abstract	Purpose: This article investigates the mathematics educational values of Pasifika students in New Zealand. It draws on student voice to examine Pasifika students' understanding of mathematics educational values and their reasons for rating values at different levels of importance. Design/Approach/Methods: The study involved Years 7 and 8 Pasifika students from two low-socioeconomic middle schools. Students selected their most and least important mathematics educational value statements on a survey. Semi-structured individual interviews were used to investigate their reasons for selecting the values. Findings: The mathematics educational values ranked highly by the greatest percentage of students were practice, family, respect, and persistence. In contrast, the values of accuracy and utility were rated as least important. Student interview data revealed commonalities in accounting for the importance of different values. The findings indicate an intersection between the mathematics educational values and cultural values of Pasifika people. Originality/Value: There have been few studies that have explored the mathematics educational values of Pasifika students. The current study provides insight into why specific values are important to Pasifika students and how these may influence classroom interactions. The use of student interview data widens the existing literature focused on values in mathematics education. (As Provided).
