More students in the U.S. should have access to high quality math instruction and experiences.
AIMS brings together researchers, tech developers and school districts to build, test, and refine math products and strategies.
AIMS shares research findings, curricular resources, products, and data sets to increase collective impact.
Advancing Innovative Math Solutions to Accelerate Educational Impact
The AIMS (Advancing Innovative Math Solutions) Collaboratory is a network of teams of education technology developers and providers, researchers, and school districts working together to improve math education in the United States.
AIMS offers evidence to educators, researchers and tech developers that enables more effective mathematics teaching and learning, especially for students furthest from opportunity.
How We Work Together
AIMS Project Teams
At the heart of AIMS are more than three dozen Project Teams. Learn about some of them below and see what all of them are learning and building here.
Boosting Math Wins: Innovative Strategies for Student Success
Leveraging ST Math’s mastery-driven game mechanics, partners Birmingham City Schools, MIND Research Institute (ST Math) and WestEd are using real-time platform data to both measure and strengthen students’ motivation, engagement, and persistence.
Kyron: MEP in the Middle School Classroom
Kyron Learning and LeanLab Education are building an AI-authoring tool that allows teachers to build customizable, interactive, video-based math lessons that support motivation, engagement, and persistence in students.
Mind Wandering and Learning Project
Recognizing that current research is often limited by small, demographically narrow datasets and costly detection equipment, the Universities of Minnesota and Pennsylvania are developing innovative tools and methods to capture and analyze attentional lapses during instructional moments.
Resources
Co-design, Build, Learn
AIMS members produce innovative technologies, curriculum, data sets and research findings and make them available to the public in service of improving math education and experiences.
Convene
Convene, Share, Improve
Twice a year, AIMS members come together to share ideas, challenges and best practices for how to improve math education in the United States.
“AIMS convenings offer opportunities to think aloud with people who think creatively and care deeply about the well-being of students and teachers. It’s rare to find that mix of rigor, values, and openness, and I always leave feeling both grounded and stretched.”
