Subject: New "Social Justice Math" Website Launched




------------------------------------
A new website called RadicalMath.org has been launched to support K-12
math teachers in helping their students develop mathematical literacy
through learning to understand and address community problems.  Packed
with over 750 standards-based lesson plans, articles, data sets, and
graphs that are searchable by both math skills and social justice issues,
RadicalMath.org is hoping to revolutionize the way that people think about
mathematics education in this country.

RadicalMath.org has the dual goals of raising mathematic literacy and
simultaneously developing ways to address a range of community issues.
The website supports educators to teach many different types of math
within the context of studying social, political, and economic justice
issues including: poverty, the Prison Industrial Complex, Military
Recruitment, Public Health issues, and economic exploitation.
RadicalMath.org also contains teaching materials on important financial
topics for youth such as owning a credit card, paying for college, and
avoiding subprime lenders, as well as materials on Ethnomathematics.
