📢 Incredible Math Breakthrough! 📢 High school students Calcea Johnson & Ne’Kiya Jackson made history by proving the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry—a feat thought impossible for over 2,000 years! 🔥 Their achievement is a testament to the power of curiosity, strong math identities, and the importance of representation in mathematics. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we reflect on the lessons and legacies shaping math education—a theme that will be central to the NCTM 2025 Annual Meeting: "Lessons and Legacies—Stories of Creative Pedagogy." 📖 Read more about their groundbreaking work in NCTM’s NCTM - National Council of Teachers of Mathematics latest guest blog by Brea Ratliff: nctm.link/urGN6
