How do we keep math class a reflection of human realities and desires? So often, it can be hard to visualize math instruction that is evenly grade-level, engaging, affirming, and meaningful, and it is costing our students interests and potential.

Join us as we discuss what it means to take math out of the textbook, and into the personalities and pursuits of the future generations.
