1) Math knowledge is democratic in character. 2) Math can be used to strengthen democracy. 3) Even if you never use math, it is relevant to you b/c people are using it to make decisions about you. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. ted.com/talks/ben_blum…

The GOP in Congress is pushing a bill that would require every American to show a passport, birth certificate, or one of a few other citizenship documents every time they register or re-register to vote. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have easy access to such documents. bit.ly/3Xl5Q2H

Here are 12 dots on a 5x5 grid. No 4 of them make a square. But no matter where you add 1 more dot to this arrangement, a square gets made. (Check it!) Can you place more than 12 dots on the grid and avoid making any squares? If you're a teacher & this piques your curiosity...
