This project aims to develop a digital platform that supports collaboration among middle school math teachers. This new environment connects to a similar student platform and includes shared problem-based curriculum materials. Teachers use it to plan, teach, reflect, and share resources and classroom artifacts, even across different schools. The resulting online resources will include problem-based curriculum materials, classroom artifacts from students, and resources created by teachers project will study how teachers use these tools, collaborate online, and support one another, contributing to a better understanding of effective online math teaching and learning.
