Math Potentials is an idependent, not-for-profit educational organization.
Our mission is to inspire and educate children to enjoy and experience success in doing mathematics. In
our programs, children are engaged in the mathematical work designed to
develop their mathematical competencies, such as the ability to solve
problems, reason well, think logically, communicate mathematically,
employ mathematical modeling and visualization, and make connections
among various mathematical ideas. Students realize real gains in their
mathematical achievement, and they become confident in their
mathematical abilities. We
teach grade 5-10 students, and our curriculum and teaching methods
address the needs that young people have for their intellectual
development (i.e. wanting to know, enjoying figuring out things, being
curious about mathematical relationships). Coherent curriculum, based
on problem solving, geometry, and the big ideas of mathematics is what
guides the content of our courses. Expert instruction with guidance and a focus on
student thinking are the hallmarks of our teaching methods. We create a
learning environment, in which students are encouraged to express and
share their mathematical ideas, and are then guided and supported to
have these ideas evolve into a well-founded mathematical knowledge. Our
specialty is enabling children to see and experience mathematics as
interesting, meaningful, beautiful and important. We strive to have
them appreciate, delight and achieve in mathematics, and always ask for
more.
