Programs

Our programs were developed with one single idea in mind. All things derive from “loving and believing in kids.” Our practices flow from over twenty-five years of asking the same question with respect to every element of the program, and in response to every decision needing to be made – “What does loving and believing in kids look like in this situation?”

From day one – where every child is told they are “unique, beautiful and irreplaceable” to the program’s most advanced classes where all students – regardless of math level participate – knowing their colleagues will support them, “loving and believing in kids” is deliberate. 

While the Math Corps has elements that resemble traditional classroom activities, these form only a small component of the overall learning environment. An accurate description of the Math Corps is as a community of practice – a social environment of participants in which learning takes place informally, through relationships that are developed and our core practices that take place in a variety of contexts. We know from our experiences, that acts of caring and kindness—from praising a student for something as simple as holding the door open for others, making students smile with a joke or a kind word, to providing every student with a “big brother” or “big sister”—are extremely powerful. These ideas have created the culture at Math Corps, and it’s how we continue to grow our programs.
