👉 Newark Math, also known as Newark School Mathematics or NMSM, is an innovative and research-driven approach to teaching mathematics that emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and active learning. Developed by educators at Newark Public Schools, this method focuses on building a strong foundation in mathematical thinking rather than rote memorization. It incorporates real-world applications, collaborative problem-solving, and the use of technology to engage students. Teachers act as facilitators, guiding students through complex concepts and encouraging them to explore multiple solution paths. The curriculum is designed to be flexible, allowing teachers to adapt lessons based on student needs and interests, with a strong emphasis on equity and ensuring that all students, regardless of background, have the opportunity to succeed in mathematics.
