We’re on a mission to help every student learn math and love learning math. Our free tools and activities are used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world. Our blends both paper and digital tasks to support social classrooms, invite mathematical creativity, and provoke wonder. We are continuing to round out our high school curriculum and are revising our middle school curriculum based on feedback from teachers and students.

We’re seeking individuals with at least five years of 6–12 classroom teaching experience to collaborate with us in creating student-facing and teacher-facing resources to accompany new lessons, as well as to revise and strengthen what we’ve already built. You will develop materials designed to support students in synthesizing and practicing what they have learned as well as resources to support teachers in developing mathematical community, facilitating powerful conversations, and supporting all students to see their brilliance.

You’ll also join us in the work of learning about systemic inequity in education, and identifying and attending to the needs of marginalized and excluded communities in order to build a curriculum that supports all students.

This role is a great fit for you if you have strong opinions about what works in math education, like thinking about what it means to communicate through writing, and the ability to help us understand the perspectives of people who are historically marginalized and excluded in mathematics, education, and technology. You have experience honoring students’ brilliance, championing teachers, and designing for real classrooms and are eager to collaborate to build and support students to love math and love learning math. You also enjoy holding different perspectives and meeting different needs at once.
