About us

Small mathematics professional development company with a big passion to improve schools all over the world.

ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT AT A TIME

Why should you work with us?

Mathematics University was founded in 2004, with the intentions of filling a niche in the mathematics school improvement category. There were many professional development companies out there, yet all of them seemed to promote the same 'scripted' mentality. All companies on the mathematics market were selling packages that were 'research based' and 'guaranteed' to succeed. It was sickening to see them sending the same exact messages to totally different districts. The frustration of seeing rampant 'common solutions' is what caused Mathematics University to be created.

Mathematics University prides itself on being totally prescriptive to a school or district's needs. Modeled lessons are done in real time. Other companies model lessons that are incredibly scripted and quite possibly replicated 10-12 times a week in many discticts. When teachers see us in action, they see the depth of content knowledge and teaching strategies that we bring.. The solutions we recommend are prescriptive for their specific needs, not just buzzwords and general phrases that will be repeated in many other districts.
