Programs & Materials Highlights
Our forward-thinking and groundbreaking research projects often result in insightful and inspiring learning resources, many for free.
Forum for Equity in Elementary Mathematics
What it is: A place to connect with others who are reflecting, in their own contexts, on elementary students’ equitable participation in mathematics, regardless of their location, student population, or curriculum.
It provides resources, publications, and professional learning opportunities that will broaden and deepen discussions among educators as we seriously and passionately pursue equity in mathematics, with a specific focus on the elementary grades.
We invite you to join us in this work and be a part of the conversation.
Storytelling Math books celebrate math, diversity, and the power of storytelling. Joyful stories and hands-on activities make it easy for kids and their grown-ups to explore everyday math together.
