The Math Forum @ Drexel is an online learning community that enables teachers, students, mathematicians, researchers, and supporters to all learn from each other and create programs and resources that improve mathematics education. This effort is funded in part by Drexel University as a public service and a small, dedicated staff who brings in grants and donations. A critical portion of the funding must come from the broad community of users who benefit and we invite you to become a member.

A membership is now required in order to access the Current Problems (Geometry, Algebra, Pre-Algebra, and Math Fundamentals). Student submissions and use of the Active Problem Library are enabled through Class or other institutional memberships. Those who became members prior to this changeover will retain their previous level of access until September 1, 2006.

Mentoring Options: We offer Priority Mentoring at prices commensurate with the number of students involved and the level of membership purchased. Priority mentoring is provided by Math Forum staff, or from individuals designated by our institutional members who have undergone our certification.

Several times a year we have groups of pre-service teachers and volunteers who are able to respond to some of the student submissions to the Current Problems of the Week at no cost. Students must select Free Mentoring when submitting their solutions in order to be eligible.

Teachers with Class memberships or higher have the option of mentoring their own students' work or having The Math Forum prepare locally recruited mentors.
