MATHNext Professional Development
MATHNext helps teachers (grades 6 - 9) understand how complex problems, given to students in
classrooms
where instructional
practice is designed to support cognitive demand and emotional
risk-taking,
results in deeper levels of learning and
increased engagement and persistence
in learning
math.
MATHNext develops high-impact communities of practice. To find out what previous participants
