Our Mission
The Delaware Mathematics Coalition’s mission is to identify, endorse, and design high quality synergistic professional learning opportunities and experiences that support the actualization of research-based norms for teaching and learning mathematics.
As an organization, the Coalition advocates and supports at the state and district levels for the implementation of these practices in every classroom so that all students gain the mathematics proficiency necessary to graduate having successfully completed a rigorous, meaningful twenty-first century education that prepares them for careers, college, and citizenship.

Summer Professional Learning Opportunities
July 19-21, 2021
Join us in Lewes Delaware for summer Math Camp 2021! Math Camp provides the space for secondary teachers, coaches, and higher educators of mathematics to grapple with interesting and challenging problems, rejuvenate their love of teaching and learning, and time to study and plan for ways to apply what they have learned into their daily instruction. This summer, we will focus on ways to build students’ curiosity and explicitly promote the use of revision structures and claim making in lessons from our HQ curriculum materials. Contact Dr. Jamila Riser for more details. jqriser@gmail.com
July 26-30, 2021
Applications are now open for secondary and post-secondary mathematics educators to participate in the third cohort of the Delaware Desmos Champions program. The goal of the program is to increase teachers’ capacity to more skillfully use the Desmos calculator and Desmos activity builder to engage students in meaningful technology enhanced lessons. Highly engaged Cohort 1 & 2 members will receive a special invitation to join this summer’s professional learning as well. Please contact DMC Technology in the Mathematics Classroom Sub-Committee Chair Renee Parsley for more details. renee.parsley@doe.k12.de.us
