National Standards

Our work is aligned with Math, Science, and Technology standards. more

The mission of our organization is to improve the quality of mathematical education, enhance the transfer of mathematical thinking into other classes, and increase students’ ability to apply rigorous mathematics outside the classroom. Our primary tool for carrying out this mission is “math machines”—simple devices which give an immediate, physical, dynamic expression to “abstract” mathematical equations.

What's New?

June 30, 2010.

The National Science Foundation has awarded us a new grant for $156,500 (DUE-1003381) to further develop our computer-controlled Math Machines and to work with community colleges around the US in expanding their use.
