These times demand equitable and relevant mathematics education. In our data-rich world, there is a growing emphasis on statistical and computational literacy in addition to traditional math topics. And in our math classrooms, innovative ways to teach mathematical concepts and connect them to the real world are needed more now than ever before.
It is imperative that all students get the resources and access necessary to pursue college degrees without the racial and socioeconomic roadblocks that have limited student success for generations. It is past time to close the divide.
Just Equations’ sixth annual conference, The Mathematics of Opportunity: Closing the Divide explored the future of equity in mathematics education and showcased the voices of education leaders, policymakers, and equity experts working to elevate math opportunities for the next generation.
