Explore Social Justice Topics with Math & Graphs

Date: Thursday, May 22, 2025
Time: 5:30-7 pm (CST)
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Price: Free for members; $15 for all others
Facilitator: Janise Hurtig

Help your ABE and HSE/GED students make connections between math, graphs and charts, and their lives!

Our facilitator, Janise Hurtig, will show us how she infuses social justice topics and current events into her math lessons. Learn about how she finds sources for data sets, the language and vocabulary she focuses on to help students make sense of data, and the kinds of math problems she crafts to help students practice fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, and more– all while discussing social justice issues that are relevant to students’ lives.
