Our Work

The Number Lab was founded to aid in ending the impoverished math experiences that characterized the background for so many of us. We seek to ensure that young learners have rich, meaningful mathematics learning experiences that are reflective of the complexity, connectedness, and wonder of the discipline of mathematics. 

We accomplish this through practice-based professional development for K-8 educators who are interested in engaging young learners as mathematicians. 

Our PD allows educators to experience and carefully analyze our unique learning framework - The Number Lab Math Block. And through their deep exploration of our learning framework, educators grow their understanding of practices that authenticate math learning. 

Because growth and change happen over time and through quality experiences, we emphasize the long-game. Our PD is not "one-stop". Instead, it is meant to operate as part of a deliberate, long-term effort of schools and districts to bring about substantive change.
