Join Us for Liberation Math (it’s a class and a community!)

Liberation Math, the course, starts next week. We’re going to be doing a wide variety of readings and critical reflection about mathematics education, and we would love to engage and interact with you (yes, you).

If you’re unfamiliar, MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It’s a free online collaborative course that large numbers of people can sign up for. It’s kind of like World of Warcraft for education, only it’s free and you replace killing with learning (I recommend a proper explanation from the guy who helped coin the term.).…
