Fraser’s Mathematics Solutions
We strive to be motivated, innovative, and responsive to new ways of teaching and connecting the world of mathematics to culturally relevant and current topics in students’ lives.
Our mission is grounded in the belief that providing students exposure to familiar, real, and exciting experiences will give them the power to illuminate.
Illuminate Your Life
Fraser’s Mathematics Solutions provides comprehensive training around high-quality mathematics teaching and learning for administrators, teachers, and parents through onsite and virtual math institutes, as well as producing school supplies for students to help them illuminate in their math classroom.
School leaders sometimes lack the confidence and knowledge to effectively support math teaching and learning in their schools, which hinders educators from creating high-quality and fun learning experiences in math. Additionally, students, specifically females, and students of color, lose interest in mathematics by age 13 due to fear of making mistakes and lack of access to relevant, fun, and accessible experiences. Through actionable touch-points for school-based leaders, teachers, and parents, STEM Illumination Labs for students, and the creation of “The Dope Math Product Line” of notebooks, pencils, and rulers, FMS targets all stakeholders to ensure a child’s successful journey in mathematics.
