K-12 Math Education
A strong math foundation prepares young people for a dynamic world and unlocks diverse career paths. The K-12 Math Education team at the Bank Street Education Center provides learning opportunities to help educators enrich their math instruction by blending skills and concepts with an understanding of each student’s development and identity.
Our approach focuses on the intersection between students, teachers, and content. We support teachers as facilitators who use big ideas, innovative strategies, and active learning to guide math growth.
We help every student access rich, grade-level math content by working with teachers to shift mindsets, build knowledge, and create inclusive, equitable learning environments.
Partnering with K-12 public schools, we assess strengths and challenges to tailor professional learning and coaching. By centering student voices, we drive meaningful change, close disparities, and promote confident, capable math learners.
We Believe…
- Deep math learning is dependent on the interactions among students, teachers, and content
- Teachers build content knowledge the same way students do – by doing
- Math must be experienced through the lens of big ideas, strategies, and models
By shifting teacher mindsets, deepening their content knowledge, and enhancing their instructional approaches, we work to provide equitable math opportunities for all children and create inclusive math learning environments designed to cultivate confident and capable math learners.
