OUR STORY

The FIRST Education Math Center was created to support educators in delivering high-quality, high-impact math instruction that meets the needs of today’s learners. Math instruction has evolved beyond traditional procedural knowledge—today’s students are expected to construct viable arguments, solve problems using multiple strategies, and collaborate effectively, all of which require a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics. This shift represents a significant change from how most teachers were taught to teach math.
Our team of math consultants are active practitioners who understand the challenges schools face in educating today’s math learners. We have a proven track record of success in implementing high-quality curriculum, coaching, and instructional practices that lead to strong student outcomes. By listening, collaborating, and working alongside you, we help strengthen math pedagogy and create impactful math learning environments. Our practical, meaningful support empowers teachers and leaders to achieve real, sustainable change.

MISSION

The FIRST Education Math Center provides training, coaching, resources and support to leaders and teachers so that math instruction is systemically aligned and intentionally designed in order to improve student learning for ALL students.
