Math multiplies a student’s future opportunities.
Math is important in school and beyond. Proficiency is linked to high school graduation, college enrollment, and even lifetime earnings! But in the United States 66% of students reach the 8th grade without learning to do essential math proficiently. Together, we can change this! The amazing thing about our program - we train ordinary people to make an incredible impact as tutors.

K-3 Math Initiative
We’re committed to continuous improvement. Our programs are unique because we’re always adapting for the best results. Out of that research and evaluation comes new initiatives to provide a specific solution for a growing need. Like our K-3 Math Initiative.
Researchers can predict a student’s high school trajectory based on math skills measured over 10 years prior. This is why it is so important to build strong math skills as early as possible. After hearing the need for earlier investment in math education, we’ve designed an initiative supporting students in kindergarten through third grade.
The goal of our new K-3 Math initiative is that students will receive evidence-based math support and stay on the trajectory to pursue STEM programming and careers. The K-3 Math Initiative is currently being studied at sites in Minnesota and Georgia.

TUTOR STORIES
“Satisfy your curiosity. Jump in there and do a year of service. Find out that, hey, in helping others, you’ve helped yourself a whole lot more than you could ever have believed.”
“During this class, we would go once a week to the local elementary school and read books with the students. This was a transformative time for me, as I began to recognize how natural it was for me to encourage the success of the students, and foster their imagination and love of reading.”
“The best part about being a tutor with Math Corps is being witness to the incredible transformation these students make. At the end of the year they all say that they didn’t know math could be fun!”
