Mathematics in the City (MitC) is a national center of research, curriculum development, and professional development for K-8 mathematics education. The center was MitC was established in 1995 by Professor Cathy Fosnot, as a collaboration between the City College of New York and the , University of Utrecht, the Netherlands. It has received funding by the , the Exxon-Mobil Foundation, and the . Through the years the project has expanded; today it functions as a think tank and center of professional development for mathematics education. To date, thousands of teachers from across the nation have participated in our institutes and workshops at CCNY. Teachers and schools also seek MitC's support and guidance in their year-to-year operations. Staff developers and consultants from the project provide on-site in-classroom work.

Algebra is a subject with which students continue to struggle. A recommendation that has gained widespread acceptance is to adopt a longitudinal, K–12 approach to teaching and learning algebra. For this to succeed, work must be done to synthesize research on children’s algebraic thinking and to design an effective instructional approach to teaching and learning algebra in elementary grades. Project LEAP researchers are developing a Grades K–5 Early Algebra Learning Progression (EALP) to foster young children’s algebraic thinking and are testing its potential to improve children’s algebra-readiness for middle grades.

Building Bridges from Elementary to Middle School Mathematics
In partnership with NYCPS, CUNY has been providing elementary and middle school teachers with an opportunity to earn some tuition-free credits in mathematics content and pedagogy. These programs can now form the bridge from elementary to middle school mathematics teaching. Teachers can use the program to step into middle school mathematics teaching and leadership through our new MSEd Professional Certificate in Mathematics Education and Leadership Program.
