I’m working as fast as possible to answer as many math questions as I can in 60 seconds. In my experience as a middle and high school math specialist, I’ve rarely heard any adults (including math teachers) report many positive memories of their early experiences with math at school. I thought so. Probably not.

Sabrina Colon, a first-year student at University of California, Merced, remembers when math first became a problem. She says she’s not a math person, but she was able to pass her high school math classes without too much trouble, earning Cs. But in college, where she’s a business major, calculus is proving insurmountable.

Even years later, San Francisco Unified School District casts a shadow over attempts to quash long-standing disparities in math. In 2014, the district pushed algebra to ninth grade from eighth grade, in an attempt to eliminate the tracking, or grouping, of students into lower and upper math paths. Nevertheless, the attempt was tense.
