Advancing a Mathematics of Opportunity

Just Equations joined the Collaborative for Student Success and other organizations in calling on policymakers to take bipartisan action to adopt and implement policies that ensure that all students, especially those from underserved communities, have access to high quality math education.

The cover story for the Winter 2025 edition of the NACAC Journal of College Admission, cites Just Equations’ report, The Limits of Calculus: Revisiting the Role of Math Education in College Admissions. The report, released in December 2024 in collaboration with the National Association for College Admission Counseling, found that calculus remains the gold standard for college admissions, despite significant and persistent inequitable access for underserved students. The article also cites the 2022 joint Just Equations/NACAC report, A New Calculus for College Admissions: How Policy, Practice, and Perceptions of High School Math Education Limit Equitable Access to College, which explores evolving views of the role that math plays in education and college admissions.
