Math Power! CoP
Our 2023 Foundational Literacy and Numeracy Communities of Practice Landscape Report is out! See a PDF copy of it here or on the by clicking on the button below.
The Math Power! Community of Practice (CoP) is a diverse network of global math champions (e.g., individuals and institutions) helping to bring the joy of math to learners around the world.
For over 3 years, we have hosted quarterly dialogues on a range of topics. See the CoP members further down on this page and reach out to us if you’d like to join.
With our CoP members we:
- Knowledge Share: successful strategies and approaches that have worked well in different contexts.
- Resource Exchange: good practices of foundational numeracy programs
- Support: share advice and brainstorm together
- Professional Development: explore opportunities for members to enhance their skills through workshops and webinars.
- Network and Mentor: connect with like-minded individuals, to facilitate knowledge transfer and guidance.
- Advocacy and Awareness: advocate for the importance of foundational numeracy in education and raise awareness about the impact of organizations promoting foundational numeracy for learners in formal and informal settings.
