Reviews / Votes
"Maththatmatters brings together math and social justice, in a way that makes them both more compelling, and the world a little more understandable." - Linda McQuaig, author // "Actually, I have never understood math better. Not only do I understand the generalskill, I can also begin to understand the world better. And if I understand the world better I can change things. And knowing that is one of the best things in the entire world. There is no way to describe that feeling." - Xochil, student // "We are at a point in history where we need young people to be fully engaged in their worlds, and mathematics for social justice plays no small part in that engagement." - Joel Westheimer, University Research Chair in Democracy and Education at the University of OttawaMore details
