At AoPS, we believe that students learn best by working through challenging problems that present opportunities to develop problem-solving and critical reasoning skills through productive struggle and creative thinking. Our goal is for students to build a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics by grappling with why mathematics works. 

We seek math curriculum developers to shape innovative and engaging mathematical learning opportunities for motivated K-12 students.

The Math Curriculum Developer will be:

• Expanding our Beast Academy math curriculum for elementary school students to provide a full-classroom experience to be delivered in schools across the country. 
• Creating courses, lessons, activities, games, and puzzles for delivery in our twelve in-person AoPS Academy learning centers across the US.
• Continuing the evolution of our Beast Academy Online learning system through designing and refining online lessons and activities (see a demo here).
• Helping advance the state of the art in online course delivery by designing courses and delivery tools in our AoPS Online School or our AoPS Academy Virtual Campus.
• Teaching your newly-developed or heavily-revised math classes at one of our AoPS Academy locations (including Virtual Campus) to remain connected to our students and our classrooms.
• Developing or refining specialty courses for very advanced math students, such as training programs for math competitions.

You might be a good fit for this position if...

• You’ve built a passion for math through teaching or doing mathematics, and are eager to guide motivated students on mathematical explorations.
• You have strong mathematical foundations and enjoy solving puzzles like this. You know a few creative ways to compute 1+3+5+7+...+199.
• You’re excited about helping students grapple with and enrich their understanding of mathematical ideas through creating cognitively demanding math tasks.
• Your classroom experience as a teacher or student has given you strong intuition and conviction about how we might best inspire and train the great problem-solvers of the next generation.
• You look forward to the challenge of writing and designing for teachers, designing curricular materials that will empower them to provide engaging and rigorous classroom experience.
• In addition to being a math geek, you’re a bit of a word geek, reading voraciously and fussing over your own writing.
