About Strength in Numbers DC
Thanks to an amazing grant from The Wild Gifting Project, our nonprofit Strength in Numbers DC was formed in response to the ever-widening equity gap exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, which disproportionately disrupted the educational experience
for historically marginalized students of color.
Strength in Numbers:
-
works during the school day, which maximizes access to all students in school
-
works with students who need both math remediation and math enrichment
-
works only individually or in very small groups to adhere to high-intensity tutoring guidelines
-
works to reinforce number sense and fluency
-
works to show the inherent beauty of mathematical patterns
-
works to show the importance of math literacy and the urgency of math in a world devastated by climate change.
​
By supporting Strength in Numbers DC, your contribution will do its part in addressing an educational system compromised by stubborn inequity rooted in systemic class and racial barriers.
