Project Overview

Mathematical Modeling With Cultural and Community Contexts (M2C3) is a project focused on teaching and learning mathematical modeling in diverse elementary classrooms.
 

Project Personnel

M2C3 brings together PIs who are extending their work in the TeachMath Project to focus on supporting elementary teachers in using cultural and community contexts in mathematical modeling tasks. They are joined by a team of other key personnel and graduate students.
