How can we use mathematics to prepare students for a complex and interconnected world? This presentation answers that question by demonstrating how core mathematical principles can be used to explore and address global challenges.

Drawing on real examples such as game theory and conflict resolution, the mathematics of voting, and algorithms that shape civic life, participants will engage with practical lesson ideas that help students see math as a powerful tool for understanding and improving the world around them.

This session will provide educators with a framework to inspire students to see mathematics as a force for positive change.
