The fundamental importance of mathematics in the C21, the way we think about it, and, crucially, the way we go about teaching it, doesn’t add up. That’s the thesis behind Vicki Abeles’ documentary, a film persuasive enough to have you questioning basic principles and rethinking the whole equation. Why are we dividing classes between “math kids” and the rest when data and algorithms run our world? Revolutionary teaching practices are opening up the subject to curious minds and breaking down deeply entrenched barriers to access. Math is a language for proving things, without it, we’re going to struggle to make our voices count.
