Transition Mathematics Project

Essential to achieving math success for all students is the development of professional learning communities and new partnerships across the sectors. Through new and enhanced partnerships, teachers, education leaders, parents, business representatives and other key stakeholders have the unique opportunity to come together to articulate and examine conceptions about mathematics, instructional practice, student thinking, and the information needs of parents. To achieve this, TMP has formed a mix of local and statewide initiatives. Locally, TMP has established fifteen cross-sector partnerships representing many of the state’s diverse regions. They are presented below. In addition, TMP runs statewide information campaigns directed at parents and the broader community, and it hosts events designed to elicit the opinions of leaders, students and parents for use in customized communication efforts.
