Meet Math Medic
At Math Medic, we believe that every student is capable of engaging with math in authentic, rich ways. We believe in the power of student voice and helping foster strong math identities. We understand our responsibility to disrupt traditional classroom dynamics around who holds the knowledge and to broaden our perspective on what it looks like to learn and do mathematics. The Experience First, Formalize Later (EFFL) model is a tool for cultivating this kind of environment. Our mission: Empowering teachers to lead student-centered classrooms where learners develop deep understanding through thoughtful investigation. Luke, Lindsey, and Sarah developed and tested the Math Medic lessons in their classrooms as colleagues at East Kentwood High School.
