Project MEGSSS is a research-based mathematics program developed to build math skills in students, grades 4-8. Louis-based think tank, in the late 1970s.
Based on the Elements of Mathematics program, MEGSSS has programs taught afterschool in the classroom and online. Our curriculum is based on The Elements of Mathematics, a program developed by CEMREL, a St. Project MEGSSS bridges the gap between elementary and high school mathematics for mathematically talented middle school students.

What do you think?
Gifted and Talented, or G&T, programs have long been a perennial subject of debate, particularly in New York City, where it has bedeviled mayors for years. Some parents have already washed their hands of the whole G&T business, refusing to participate in what they view as a corrupt system of segregation. But countless others still place significant stock in the G&T designation and what it offers and are comfortable relying on cognitive testing, should it be required, to determine whether a child qualifies.
“When your intelligence is the foundation of your self-perception, failing to achieve feels like soul death,” writes Katie Arnold-Ratliff. But if the limited amount of information we have about gifted kids long-term is any indication, most lead, at best, ordinary lives of modest accomplishment. A 35-year study of 677 gifted children found that by age 50, only 12.3 percent had reached a level of “eminence,” defined as “full professors … Fortune 500 executives … judges and lawyers, leaders in biomedicine, award-winning journalists and writers.” This means 88 percent never did.

Your decision to support a student interested in math is one of the most important choices you’ll make.
Our future rests on that choice.
