The Online Mentoring Project is an NSF-funded project. Its goal is to create a dynamic online environment for elementary, middle, and secondary pre-service teachers to mentor students through the Math Forum's Problem of the Week (PoW) environment. This is a unique opportunity for pre-service teachers to focus on how students think and communicate about math before facing the complexities of the classroom.
