Spring into Math

-
Counted Out Screening: Together with partners from LBLESD and Corvallis School District, we were delighted to co-host a screening of the Counted Out documentary on March 20th. This fantastic film focuses on issues of math equity and democracy. Want to host your own screening? Reach out to us for details on how to bring this conversation to your community, supported by our Mathways grant.

Professional Development at the MILL: Math educators, mark your calendars! Our PD sessions at the MILL offer collaborative workshops that are perfect for sharing strategies, connecting with colleagues, and discovering new ways to engage students.
