2024 Northwest Mathematics Conference

Join us for a workshop where we share our students' experiences with a project that explores the gender and racial wage gaps using real data. The project combines social justice learning with mathematical analysis, allowing students to see themselves and their own identities in the data and critically examine the impacts of intersectionality. Through applying systems of linear equations, students model, interpret, and predict the future of wage equity in Canada. Targeted at the Foundations of Mathematics and Precalculus 10 curriculum, this project is adaptable for other grade levels.
