Welcome!

The Number Lab is an organization whose mission is to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics through teacher professional development. The organization was founded to aid in ending the impoverished math experiences that characterized the background for so many of us.

Through our highly innovative, practice-based math learning framework, we help build teachers’ mathematics knowledge and identities as math learners. This effort results in observable shifts in math learning practices that allow young learners to have a more positive and powerful experience with mathematics. Teachers learn to embrace our generative perspective of mathematics as well as our commitment to employing and optimizing practices that promote growth of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity.

Our learning framework has allowed us to gain the attention of educators and educational leaders across the U.S. and in several other countries. In 2022, The Number Lab Math Block framework was added to Transcend Education’s list of inspiring learning models, The Innovative Models Exchange. Our inclusion in the Innovative Models Exchange was due in large part to our practices that support dynamic, multi-dimensional, concept-rich learning experiences, the kind of experiences that genuinely honor mathematics as an academic discipline.
