Wicked Math
Count me in.
Wicked Math is the City of Boston’s new initiative on Advancing Math to streamline access and to deliver a more cohesive math culture citywide. This effort is led by the Mayor’s Office, Boston Public Schools, and EdVestors.
Wicked Math aims to address the shortage of opportunities for Boston Public School students who enjoy math or have demonstrated a high aptitude for it. Students get opportunities to engage with math inside and outside of the classroom, in the manner of their suburban peers.
