Click on the picture on the right to watch some children doing the kind of thinking we want to promote.
We believe that:
- All students should receive the best possible
mathematics education, regardless of their socioeconomic status or ethnicity.
- Mathematics education should prepare students for productive
citizenship, further studies, and satisfying, productive work.
- It is
possible for people to agree on all of these goals and still hold widely
differing opinions about how to achieve them.
