All students are
powerful learners.

EF+Math is an advanced research and development (R&D) program that funds and supports teams of educators, researchers, and developers to co-create rigorous math learning approaches that improve learning outcomes and affirm the brilliance of Black and Latinx students and students experiencing poverty. These approaches are intentionally designed with educators and students at the center to be implemented in real-world classrooms. EF+Math is challenging the way educators and researchers think about how students learn, especially how students learn math. 

 

Our
North
Star

Every student is a powerful learner capable of success in math. We want every student to know their innate abilities, know how to use them to take control of their own learning, and be given every opportunity to learn rigorous math.
