Reviews
"Maththatmatters brings together math and social justice, in a way that makes them both more compelling, and the world a little more understandable." — Linda McQuaig, author
"Actually, I have never understood math better. Not only do I understand the general skill, I can also begin to understand the world better. And if I understand the world better I can change things. And knowing that is one of the best things in the entire world. There is no way to describe that feeling." — Xochil, student
