The Challenge
The world has become increasingly complex and interconnected. Young people need outstanding skills - from analysis to communication to collaboration - to successfully address 21st century challenges. While many complex problems are interdisciplinary in nature and will require breakthrough thinking across disciplines, most schools continue to teach math in a silo – perpetuating a gap between mathematical skill development and real life application beyond "word problems."
