Math Education Reimagined

The Number Lab works with educators and schools to advance the teaching and learning of mathematics through professional development opportunities that support meaningful shifts in content, culture, and pedagogy — all driven by The Number Lab's Generative Framework for Mathematics.

Our work is to assist teachers in presenting mathematics in a way that learners experience it as an ever-growing, coherent body of knowledge founded upon essential, connective understandings — resulting in deep mathematical understanding, a positive mathematical identity, and strong number reasoning skills.

What makes The Number Lab distinctive is that we are practicing educators. Long-View Micro School in Austin, Texas is our home: a living school where our framework is practiced, tested, and refined daily with students. It is the proof of concept for decades of work in mathematics education, and it is the laboratory from which everything we offer educators grows. Some of our professional development opportunities — including Field Study Days — are situated directly within Long-View, giving educators the rare chance to observe the framework in action inside a real school, on a real day, with real children.

We are learning for the long view.

Our Offerings

Workshops

We teach and support educators across the country. We travel to schools to run workshops, host a summer institute in Austin, and conduct coaching sessions embedded in our Long-View classrooms.

Membership

Learning for the Long-View is a subscription-based platform that support educators in creating a mathematics classroom that nurtures deep conceptual understanding, reasoning, critical listening, and collaboration through videos, scripts, anchor charts, and lesson plans.

Products

From t-shirts to math tools and anchor charts, we have both physical products and digital downloads for math educators.

The Number Lab is proud to be featured on Transcend Education’s Innovative Models Exchange.

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.
