Our goal is to provide resources that support educators and students in realizing this potential. Image Sorry, your browser doesn’t support embedded videos. Our offerings engage learners as active participants in developing conceptual understanding and fluency, enabling them to become confident mathematical thinkers. Our Elementary Mathematics Programs Bridges Third Edition Bridges in Mathematics is a full PK-5 curriculum featuring relevant, open-ended tasks and a coherent set of visual models to help students develop their conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving abilities. Bridges lessons are designed to allow educators to make productive adaptations to ensure each student can develop a positive math identity. Explore Bridges Third Edition Bridges Intervention Bridges Intervention uses targeted, strengths-based instruction and assessment to help students understand essential mathematical skills and concepts. The program complements Bridges in Mathematics but can be used with any core math curriculum. Explore Bridges Intervention Number Corner Number Corner is a skills-building program centered around the classroom calendar. Five different workouts provide opportunities to apply skills in new contexts. While Number Corner is an essential component of Bridges, it can supplement any K–5 program. Explore Number Corner Concept Quests Concept Quests reinforces and extends grade-level learning by offering additional problem-solving opportunities and horizontal enrichment for all students. Included with Bridges Third Edition, it can be purchased as a supplement for Bridges Second Edition. Explore Concept Quests Number Rack This Bridges Breakout centers around the number rack, a powerful tool for building intuitive, flexible computation strategies.

Listen to Our Podcast Gain insight and practical professional learning from other math educators by tuning in to our 20-minute episodes of the Rounding Up podcast. Our Story Fifty years ago, three math educators came together to explore effective ways of teaching and learning math. They began with a grant from the National Science Foundation and a shared vision of making math accessible to all learners. They formed The Math Learning Center (MLC) as a nonprofit organization so they could continue to serve the math education community. Co-founder and mathematics professor Dr. Eugene Maier pioneered the use of visual models, many of which are now widely used throughout math education. These models remain central to our approach, as does his belief in asking questions to move learning forward. In the spirit of our founders, our programs are inquiry-based, student-centered, and focused on developing mathematical reasoning. Learn more . What’s Happening at MLC?
