This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $1,072,633 to The Algebra Project, Inc. over 5 years beginning October 1, 2023. The key products and services delivered include:

Developing a comprehensive, standards-aligned Algebra II curriculum based on the Algebra Project's "polynomial calculus" and "five-step curricular process" approach. This geometric introduction to differential and integral calculus does not require advanced analysis mechanisms. The project also aims to enhance participating teachers' and students' knowledge and skills through the collaborative curriculum development, helping them gain a deeper understanding of mathematics and develop culturally responsive pedagogies. Additionally, the project seeks to foster voice, agency, and positive identity in mathematics among participants through participatory action research case studies.
