About Mission: Algebra

Overview

Mission: Algebra is designed to provide guidance to district and school leaders in addressing the question: How can technology support teachers and students in getting students ready for Algebra I? The intended audience is school leaders - those with the responsibility to make program decisions or to advise decision-makers about:
• middle school mathematics,
• professional development of the teaching staff, and
• the acquisition and deployment of technology.

The site includes standards-based classroom examples and is grounded in standards, informed by the experiences of practitioners, and guided by available research and theory.

We expect the site will be of high interest to a wide variety of educators as they address the new federal priority of getting all students ready for challenging mathematical content in high school.

Mission: Algebra is a project of NEIRTEC, one of the ten regional technology in education consortia (RTECs) funded by the U.S. Department of Education. NEIRTEC is a collaboration of Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), TERC, Learning Innovations at WestEd, the Education Alliance at Brown University, and Sun Associates. TERC is the partner responsible for developing and maintaining the site.
