Teaching mathematics using numbers that matter empowers students to use what they know to make the world a better place. In this classroom, students develop mathematical concepts and skills in the context of problem-solving issues that exist in real life. They talk about social, economic, and political conditions that people are struggling with in different parts of the world as well as their responsibilities as global citizens.
