This March, communities everywhere are coming together to reimagine math. In honor of Pi Day (3.14),
the acclaimed new documentary Counted Out kicks off Reimagine Math, a global initiative to celebrate
math with 314 community screenings worldwide throughout the month.

University of Indianapolis’ Shaheen College of Arts and Sciences and Shortridge High School are proud to
participate in this movement that celebrates math as a tool for participation, understanding, and opportunity.

Through screenings and conversations, we’ll spark ideas and inspire action that resonates far beyond March.
In our current information economy, math is everywhere. The people we date, the news we see, the influence of
our votes, the candidates who win elections, the education we have access to, the jobs we get — all of it is
underwritten by an invisible layer of math that few of us understand, or even notice.

But whether we know it or not, our numeric literacy — whether we can speak the language of math — is a critical
determinant of social and economic power.

Counted Out shows us the power of math that undergirds our democracy. Who holds that power? Who doesn’t?
And how can we all speak the language of math to fully participate in a world that belongs to everyone?

“Our inability, as citizens, to speak the language that is math is truly risky to us as a society.” — Julia Angwin, editor-in-chief of Proof News

Counted Out has been selected to screen at dozens of festivals, including South by Southwest EDU, the San
Francisco International Film Festival, and Original Thinkers in Telluride, Colorado which spotlighted the
intersection of mathematical thinking and civic health.

Across the country, we are growing the conversation about the math crisis in America whose solution is at our
fingertips, the quality of our lives, the future of our society, and the health of our democracy. And we want you to
be a part of it.
