The Algebra Project: Robert Moses’s Push for Math Equity
Robert P. Moses transformed math education in the 1990s through The Algebra Project, a national initiative he built to make algebra accessible to students in underserved communities. By treating mathematical literacy as a civil rights issue, Moses introduced innovative teaching models, trained educators, and empowered families to advocate for stronger math pathways. His 1990s work reshaped equity-focused education and paved the way for thousands of young learners.
