We launched NYC Solves to ensure that all of our students learn to be skilled mathematicians, an absolutely essential step in ensuring every New York City Public School student graduates on a pathway to a rewarding career and long-term economic security, equipped to be a positive force for change. 

This will happen when we implement math curricula aligned to the NYCPS K-12 Mathematics Shifts which support the movement away from mathematics as a series of established procedures that must be memorized, and towards mathematics as a discoverable, meaningful, and connected collection of big ideas and disciplinary practices.

The NYC Solves team works in partnership with families, students, teachers, principals, superintendents, and the Mathematics Advisory Council to implement key elements that foster a systemwide culture of High Quality Mathematics Instruction. Our goal is to ensure that every student in every classroom has access to high quality, research-based curricula selected through collaboration between superintendent, principals and math teachers, and that our educators are well-trained and supported in using these curricula.
