Ansh and Neil introduce themselves and discuss how they aim to face the Algebra failure problem in the U.S.

Ansh and Neil discuss their math backgrounds and their motivations for starting Math2Empower. Bill Crombie from the Algebra Project shares his reaction/view to this.

Ben Moynihan from the Algebra Project introduces himself and talks about the work of the Algebra Project, and briefly mentions Bob Moses's vision for mathematics.

Mr. Crombie introduces himself and describes his experiences with Bob Moses that made him be a part of the Algebra Project.

Mr. Moynihan talks about Bob Moses's work in Missisippi, the state with some of the strongest systemic laws directed against black people, during the 1960s. He continues with the connection between education and the right to vote.

Mr. Moynihan outlines the ways The Algebra Project takes to raise the floor of K-12 mathematics.

Mr. Crombie describes Bob Moses's use of shared experience to bring out mathematics and how it helped changed the mindset of students who believed they could not learn Algebra.

Mr. Crombie recalls the time in which he witnessed Bob Moses incorporating math into a discussion with a wide variety of people present and did this in such a way that everyone was involved equally.

Mr. Crombie talks about the uniqueness of gaining a PHD in math and the discussions that take place.

Mr. Moynihan discusses the role Algebra plays in high school dropouts and the effect it has on a student's academic journey.

Mr. Moynihan explains why collaboration amongst students in math is important and how students are not just "private learners" but also "public learners".

Mr. Crombie points out the lack of imagination and creativity in most math classrooms, whereas in social studies, science, and english classes, this is often present.

Mr. Moynihan cites an INCLUDES, a program started by the National Science Foundation, study which reports about the social collective impact theory and explains Bob Moses's connection with this.

Mr. Crombie explains the Algebra Project's approach to segregation in schools and how they work with disadvantaged students within these schools.

Mr. Crombie explains why education is a crucial component of voting, and he talks about the effect a lack of education had on the right to vote in Mississippi during the 1960s.

Mr. Crombie discusses the impact teaching Algebra to disadvantaged students can have and how that is what makes teaching Algebra revolutionary.

Mr. Crombie points out the greater role math plays in one's life; a role that is often overlooked by students and even teachers.  Raising math literacy requires the effort of institutions outside of schools.

Mr. Moynihan explains how students successfully pass all their high school courses/exams and still need to remediate these in college, which leads to a buildup of college debt without graduating.

Mr. Moynihan explains Bob Moses's belief for the need of a policy change in which quality education is guaranteed as a civil right.

Mr. Monihan talks about the results of a survey that was taken many years ago, in which parents were asked if they believed their child should take Algebra and if all students should take Algebra.

Mr. Moynihan talks about education as a right in many state constitutions, and explains the efforts to make a quality education a federal, constitutional right.

Mr. Moynihan describes the need for students to understand that education plays a much larger role in society than one might expect.

Mr. Crombie explains what is necessary to combat the Algebra failure problem.

Mr. Crombie talks about the need for people outside of school to support disenfranchised students who need support for Algebra.

Mr. Moynihan explains the importance of peer mentors and the impact it can have in the future.

Mr. Moynihan points out the lack of mathematicians in the K-12 space and describes why this should be changed.

Mr. Moynihan quotes Maisha Moses to convey his point that the youth must be involved in raising the floor of math literacy.

Mr. Crombie recalls a story about Maisha Moses, Bob Moses's eldest daughter, and describes her work with The Young People's Project.

Mr. Moynihan mentions other organizations that work towards greater math literacy. Stay tuned for talks with these organizations.
