About Skew The Script:Skew The Script supports instruction and creates high school lesson materials that make math what it already is: relevant. Why? Because relevant math classrooms:
- Empower marginalized students by boosting math engagement and achievement
- Strengthen civil discourse by deepening all students’ math reasoning on civic topics
Lessons address compelling, real-world problems to engage students in meaningful and rigorous math instruction.
