Red light plus green light makes yellow, not brown.

Every color on a screen is three lights with 256 settings each. 256 x 256 x 256 = about 16.7 million colors.

The math inside every color picker:

You can follow every step of an algebra rule and still have no idea why it works.

Train Your Brain for Algebra: seven free videos showing the rules as patterns, in colors instead of numbers.

For kids ready early, and adults it never clicked for.

Between fifth grade and college math, a North Carolina student passes through ten decision points, owned by six different bodies.

No two consecutive steps define ready the same way. The last step, whether any of it worked, belongs to nobody.

In 2018 North Carolina guaranteed advanced math to its top math scorers. 114-0 and 47-0.

Fourteen months later the State Board moved the cut score and applied it to tests already sat. One in nine became one in sixty-three.

Nobody had to decide that.

Mismatched describes entire data departments that could not build a pivot table. Decisions ran on gut feeling while the answers sat in a spreadsheet. The skill takes 60 seconds to learn. https://t.co/d5jYH4wCKL

North Carolina passed a law forcing schools to place top math scorers in advanced math. A year later, the state changed the scoring so far fewer students count as top scorers. The door opened. The doorway narrowed. https://t.co/rUHNyI6Gwt

Straight-A students pulled into remedial phonics drills. Their test scores didn't matter. Their zip codes did.

Chapter 8 of Mismatched names the myth education can't let go of: that poverty and failure are the same thing.

Every color on your screen is really just three tiny lights: red, green, and blue.

One color, three systems: glowing pixels, hex codes, printed ink. Simple math, no coding needed.

What does a panicking KFC manager have in common with a frozen grant writer? Both confronted basic math and blinked. Chapter 7 of Mismatched names the pattern: the Lotta Chicken Principle. The sorting machine doesn't just sort students. It sorts everyone.

Your printer doesn't use red, yellow, and blue. Your screen doesn't either. So why did we all learn those were the "primary" colors?
Dr. Janet Johnson explains how computers (and printers) actually make color.

Three students won a regional MathCounts competition. The counselor said they "weren't the kinds of students who take advanced math." Watch chapter 5 of "Mismatched" now where Dr. Janet Johnson explains what gatekeeping really looks like. https://t.co/Zux4LVcFHP #Education

A manager froze at a simple math problem. A napkin fixed it in minutes.

Chapter 4 of "Mismatched" — "Lotta Chicken, Lotta Boxes" — is live. The real lesson isn't about chicken.

We've known for decades that schools use demographics instead of achievement data to decide which students get access to advanced mathematics. So why hasn't anything changed?

The education system's greatest trick: making those it excludes believe they failed individually.

Why do tech professionals and educators constantly talk past each other?

In the first episode of "Working in the Dark," Dr. Janet Johnson pulls back the curtain on an invisible divide that has shaped K-12 education for decades.
