Using Math to Identify and Impact Social Justice Issues in Our Lives
Math can be a powerful tool for identifying and disrupting the effects of racism. Developing strong skills in proportional reasoning and statistical literacy, and carrying this reasoning into the world, prepares students to recognize the effects of racism and to critically question and respond to real world issues. In this workshop, we will explore how to teach math that students can use to think critically about the world.
