We are a lean operation with 4 staff and a handful of consultants, working...

As we enter 2026, read reflections from our executive director Benjamin Moynihan on math literacy, why we need Math Makes Movement, and how you can help.

If Bob Moses were still with us today, I think he’d be asking friends of this work in civil rights and algebra for so many years to please support the Algebra Project and to help us shift into a space where we can share our math learning resources with students and teachers in a hybrid environment...

Looking for some light reading over the winter break? Our final article on the Work Cycle is here, wrapping up some concepts we've been discussing for the past few months, but equally a good piece to start on if you haven't been following our Work Cycle series this year. Check it out:

Our Fall Newsletter is here, and it pulls together a lot of the thinking and work we have been sharing over the past few months.

At the center is the final piece in our Work Cycle series, an interview with Bill Crombie, Director of Professional Development, reflecting on what the Work Cycle really looks like in practice and why it matters in classrooms.

You will also find an open letter from Executive Director Ben Moynihan on this moment for math literacy and where the Algebra Project is headed, along with several news items and updates from across the organization and our allies.

If you have been following along, this issue ties the threads together. If you are new, it is a good place to jump in.

Today is Giving Tuesday.

With public school budgets shrinking and federal research grants drying up, the fight for high-quality education is more urgent than ever. We also now rely on community support and small, recurring donations more than at any point in our recent history.

If you believe in raising the floor of math literacy, please consider donating today.
