1) Math knowledge is democratic in character.
2) Math can be used to strengthen democracy.
3) Even if you never use math, it is relevant to you b/c people are using it to make decisions about you.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The GOP in Congress is pushing a bill that would require every American to show a passport, birth certificate, or one of a few other citizenship documents every time they register or re-register to vote. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have easy access to such documents. https://t.co/ENRsVv8oIC

Can you place more than 12 dots on the grid and avoid making any squares?
If you're a teacher & this piques your curiosity...

There are some days when I push students to demand that their mathematics make sense to them and the results are truly magical.
Today was one of those days.
