Radical Equations
The COUNTED OUT film was dedicated to Bob Moses, founder of the Algebra Project. Moses was a civil rights leader who became a math education visionary. He developed a 5-step curricular process leading from a shared experience to symbolic representation of mathematics.

Purple Comet!
The Purple Comet! Math Meet is an annual and international team mathematics competition designed for middle and high school students that has been held every year since 2003. Teams of from one to six students compete by submitting solutions to a list of mathematics problems. The problems range in difficulty from fairly easy to extremely challenging. There are too many problems and too little time for any one student to solve them all, so teamwork is critical!
We will compete in the Mixed Teams category (teams whose members attend more than one school or are home schooled) for both the middle school and the high school contest. levels.
Our practice sessions at Bard College have concluded and next up is the contest on Saturday, April 26.
Parent’s Math Workshop
Our Parent’s Math Workshop will start on May 17, alongside our Family Math Afternoon that month. For parents who would like to develop a math friendly home environment and invite their young ones into the world of mathematics. Space in the workshop is limited, so please sign up below.
