Solving Problems for the
Problem Solvers
For educators. For community. For the future.
For far too long, math class has been about memorizing facts and mimicking procedures. Math Medic was born out of the desire to make mathematics more engaging and relevant for all types of learners, while finding the joy in the subject.
Math Medic began when three math teachers from East Kentwood High School decided to make a change. They started teaching math classes for deep understanding, facilitating collaboration between students to promote flexible problem solving while working to engage all students through interactive lessons. After years of creating, testing, and iterating, they've built Math Medic – and are sharing their lessons and learnings with over 100,000 teachers across the U.S.

Our Approach to Learning
We believe that every student is capable of engaging with mathematics in authentic, rich ways. We believe in the power of student voice and helping foster strong problem solvers. We believe our responsibility is to disrupt traditional classroom dynamics around who holds the knowledge. We believe in broadening 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. Are you ready to change your students’ perspective on math?
