We are a 501(c)3 non profit corporation whose mission is to improve elementary math education by supporting teachers, schools and parents as they prepare their students to succeed at algebra. Concentrating primarily on grades 4 - 8, MSMI's program is aligned with Minnesota state standards and Common Core standards as well as the National Mathematics Advisory Panel's Critical Foundations for Algebra. We offer educators intensive professional development institutes on the most critical subjects for success in algebra: fractions, rational numbers, and certain aspects of geometry. We offer professional development and curriculum services that integrate mathematics content for teachers with curricular development to match the changing needs of the middle school classroom. Schools receive support as they adapt their current
curriculum and textbooks so their students are on a solid foundation for Algebra
1. We offer parents free talks and pamphlets to help them learn what math their students must master to succeed in high school math and beyond. The Middle School Mathematics Institute is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. |
