THE DATA REVOLUTION
IS HERE.
NOW
WE JUST NEED TO
TEACH IT.

This site
is a growing
collection of resources, organizations, and people working to make data science, stats, and modelling
a part of K-12.
So what needs to change?
The math we teach needs an update.
The math we require in our K-12 education system is out of sync with our everyday technology.
The Algebra I-Geometry-Algebra II sequence, often referred to as the "geometry sandwich," was originally created to prepare our students for the Space Race in the 1950s.
Some things have changed since then.
And a lot of people are writing about it:
And implementing it:
Oregon
The Oregon Math Project is planning to add data science to their 2 + 1 Model, both in the core sequence and as an elective pathway.
California
In California, the revised 2021 Mathematics Framework for statewide math standards will include data science through all of K-12.
Ohio
The Charles A. Dana Center is currently working with Ohio to develop alternatives to Algebra II, including the potential for data science.
HS Course
The Introduction to Data Science course is a high school elective that has been taught in classrooms nationally for 5+ years.
Taught
nationally in:
26 districts
&
65 schools
and counting.

DATA LITERACY
We should be
teaching math as if
computers existed.
