Please join us for Connecticut’s screening of Counted Out, a new documentary that highlights the importance of mathematics and mathematics education by examining its connection to economic and social power. Mathematics is more than numbers – it is the foundation of opportunity, democracy, and social equity. The film is an eye-opening documentary shining a light on the imminent need to understand mathematics to tackle the significant challenges we face – racial and income inequality, climate change, and political polarization.
We are also very excited to share that Dr. Jo Boaler (professor, author, founder of youcubed) will keynote the session and facilitate the conversation.
The screening is Wednesday, March 5, 6:00 – 8:30 pm at Central and is hosted by multiple CT math education organizations and institutions of higher ed. Our goal is to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders to view and discuss the film. Please see Registration page for the CT screening details.
We are also hosting a Pre-screening Networking Reception from 5:00 – 6:00 pm. We hope you will join us! The reception is ticketed separately ($20, credit card only). The link to register for the reception is shared when you register for the screening.
Thank you for your consideration of this transformative event and we hope that you will spread the word!!
