Students' mathematical ideas are at the heart of our work. We believe that meaningful mathematics learning grows through opportunities to explore ideas, make connections, explain reasoning, encounter different perspectives, and engage in sustained mathematical inquiry. Teachers play a central role in creating and supporting these opportunities, drawing on their understanding of mathematics, their students, and the contexts in which learning takes place.

Building on the legacy of the Math Forum, EnCoMPASS, and ORCIDS, our work brings together teachers, researchers, and technology developers to explore how we can better understand students' mathematical thinking and support teaching practices that foster deep and sustained mathematical engagement and learning.

Our newest initiative, MENTIR-AI, extends this work by exploring how artificial intelligence can support teachers in their work with students and in their own professional learning. This includes helping teachers interpret and respond to student work, support mathematical interactions during classroom instruction, prepare for and reflect on instructional experiences, and engage in ongoing professional growth.
