We're excited to share the prototype of the debut Algebra Project knowledge game, "Let's Take a Trip! Card Game". We've been piloting DIY versions in sites and schools nationally for close to a year and cannot wait for these to be publicly available for purchase. Stay tuned!
We're excited to share an overview video of Math Makes Movement (M3), a national math literacy campaign from the Algebra Project! This initiative is focused on expanding access to high-quality math education across the United States.

Bill Crombie walks us through how one student hit a wall with memorizing algorithms, until he helped her see that math can be intuitive. That moment sparked the mathematical card game he built to prove it.

Math doesn’t lie. But the stories we tell about it sometimes do. Raw numbers of math proficiency broken down by race tell a story you don't typically see in headlines.

Omo Moses of @mathtalkpbc launches his debut memoir January 21st!
"In his searing adult debut, Moses nimbly orchestrates the interplay between his and his ancestors’ voices. The result is a stirring blend of family history and coming-of-age narrative." - Publisher's Weekly

How do you use math literacy as an organizing tool that will have impact beyond the math classroom itself? When students are put at the center, it excavates and uplifts their agency. When the math belongs to them, their ideas belong to them.
Math classes often ask for you to check yourself at the door, that in there you are the ‘mathematician’.
Becoming a mathematician doesn’t mean you need to shapeshift. Your unique lived experiences are inherently mathematical.
We were surprised and humbled to see Bob Moses, our late founder and president, honored at the DNC's "In Memoriam" segment as Patti LaBelle beautifully performed "You Are My Friend". Watch the moving tribute to Bob and many others below:
