Civic Math: The Road to 1776 is a weekly educational series leading up to July 4, 2026, exploring how the thirteen colonies moved toward independence.
Through a unique combination of mathematics and storytelling, each episode explains how decisions were made, how ideas spread, and how individuals and small groups influenced the course of history.
The series follows a state-by-state format, beginning with North Carolina and continuing through each colony. Each state is presented in two parts:
Part 1: Population, governance, and decision-making structure
Part 2: Key turning points, including moments of urgency and decisive action
Episodes are released weekly and are accessible online, providing students, educators, and the general public with an engaging way to participate in the 250th commemoration of American independence.
