FILM SCREENING: COUNTED OUT

As part of our ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion, we invite you to join us for a special screening of the 2024 documentary Counted Out.

Directed by Vicki Abeles, Counted Out explores how our relationship with math shapes identity, opportunity, and access—both in and beyond the classroom. The film delves into the ways math intersects with political polarization, economic inequality, and social justice, challenging us to rethink what it means to be “math capable” in today’s world.

This powerful experience is open to school district teams and community members. We hope you’ll join us for a meaningful morning of learning, reflection, and conversation.

The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion, learning opportunity and lunch!

Registration is required
