Our mathematics programs
- are based on intensive research into
students' thinking about mathematical
concepts.
- promote interaction among students to
conjecture, prove, refute, and extend
ideas.
- build communication skills such as
reading, writing, speaking, and critical
listening.
- engage students of varying abilities,
including ESL and special-needs students.
- align with national and state-level
standards and benchmarks.
- improve student achievement.
In support of this mission, our work includes
- understanding of students'
mathematical thinking and learning.
- creation of effective curricula and
other support materials.
- promotion of applications of
technology.
- professional development
opportunities.
- support of schools engaged in
mathematics reform.
