Vision Statement

For local school district students who have math questions (especially while they attempt homework problems), and for university class students (primarily future teachers and mathematics majors) who need direct contact with school district students so that they might better understand both the content and the students, the Mathematics Mentoring Network is an internet-based application that will:

• accept questions and attempted solutions from school district students,
• relay those questions to an individual or a group of university class students,
• and deliver responses back after they are reviewed by both university faculty and the school district teacher.

Unlike other internet-based homework services, our product will provide school district students with responses (not answers) from a trusted group of university class students trained in inquiry-based learning philosophy, while future teachers and mathematics majors gain invaluable experiences through question/response exchanges with the school district students.
