Mission Statement
Our mission is to support teachers as mathematicians and as social justice educators by building a community of mathematics professionals, providing classroom resources, and promoting problem solving and critical conversations. Following the lead of national organizations such as NCTM and TODOS Math, this mission stems from our beliefs that mathematics is a tool that can be used to analyze and challenge power, privilege, and oppression; and that mathematics must be part of a larger system of education that fully engages students in our democratic society.

National Math Circle Network
The Math Circle Network is affiliated with the American Institute of Mathematics, with almost 300 Math Circles located throughout the United States. Math Circles take different forms, such as professional learning communities of K-12 mathematics teachers and mathematicians, or after-school programs for students and families. The goal of all Math Circles is to enjoy problem-solving on rich mathematics tasks in a community setting, allowing mathematicians, teachers, students, and community members to learn together.
