Foundations, Institutes and Think Tanks

Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching aims to build a field around the use of improvement science and networked improvement communities to solve longstanding inequities in educational outcomes. We hone in on “high leverage problems” – those that affect large numbers of students. Recognizing the grave consequences for both individual opportunity and the nation’s social and economic well being, Carnegie has engaged networks of faculty members, researchers, designers, students, and content experts in the creation of two new pathways, one in statistics and the other in quantitative reasoning.
Inside Mathematics Inside Mathematics provides a resource for educators around the world who struggle to provide the best mathematics instruction they can for their students. Too often, teachers who excel at reaching students have few ways of sharing these strong practices with others – and teachers who struggle, struggle alone. Our classroom doors have remained closed too often and for too long. Inside Mathematics opens those doors: - to tested Public Lessons presented to children and groups of observing teachers; - to guided tours of reflective mathematics practice, identifying what makes teaching, learning, and improving instruction in mathematics a difficult enterprise and providing resources for teachers to improve their practice; - to mathematics teaching and learning tools and resources to support classroom teachers’, math coaches’, and administrators’ daily practices; - and to a professional learning community in which you are invited to open your own classroom door and engage in conversation about your own mathematics teaching and learning.
National math and Science Initiative NMSI works to expand access to challenging coursework and improve student achievement through proven programs that consistently produce measurable and lasting results. We partner with schools and districts nationwide to provide extraordinary training and support for teachers and to give students the resources they need to develop and demonstrate knowledge and skills that will propel them throughout their lives.

Museums

National Museum of Mathematics The National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) is an award-winning museum that highlights the role of mathematics in illuminating the patterns and structures all around us. Its dynamic exhibits, gallery, and programs are designed to stimulate inquiry, spark curiosity, and reveal the wonders of mathematics. The Museum’s innovative exhibits will engage folks from 105- to 5-years-old — and even younger!
Virtial Museum of Mathematcs
Math Moves! Exhibit The Math Moves! exhibit stimulates mathematical imaginations and builds the mathematical abilities – interest, confidence, and skills – of children and their caregivers and makes it easier and fun for these children to succeed in middle school and high school mathematics.
