City Digits is a collaborative project among MIT's Civic Data Design Lab, the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP), and CUNY's Brooklyn College to develop and pilot test innovative resources and tools that support high school students' learning of mathematics. City Digits is designing two place-based curricular modules to investigate and analyze specific themes related to the local, urban context. The curricular modules will be enhanced by the integration of geo-spatial technologies that enable students to explore their local urban landscape, collect field data, and organize and visualize patterns. Our first module, Local Lotto, is about state lotteries and was pilot tested in April 2013.
