SUMMARY:Counted Out Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you and your students to a special screening of the documentary Counted Out\, taking place at Highline. \nAbout the Film:\n\nIn our current information economy\, math is everywhere. The people we date\, the news we see\, the influence of our votes\, the candidates who win elections\, the education we have access to\, the jobs we get—all of it is underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand\, or even notice. \nBut whether we know it or not\, our numeric literacy—whether we can speak the language of math—is a critical determinant of social and economic power. \nThrough a mosaic of personal stories\, expert interviews\, and scenes of math transformation in action\, Counted Out shows what’s at risk if we keep the status quo. Do we want an America in which most of us don’t consider ourselves “math people”? Where math proficiency goes down as students grow up? Or do we want a country where everyone can understand the math that undergirds our society—and can help shape it? \nAbout the screening event:\nThe film is about 90 minutes long\, and following the screening\, we’ll host a short discussion to reflect on the film’s themes and explore its relevance to our community. Please register for the event here. \nFacilitator:\n\n\n\nPatrick Kwon\n\n\n\nModality:\nIn-person in 7-101 \n
