EF+Math Resource Library
Your Gateway to Research, Tools, and Products to Transform Math Education
As the first program of the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF), EF+Math facilitated coordinated R&D across a 700+ person community, resulting in learning products, research tools, and practical insights intended to support educators, researchers, and developers beyond the program’s lifespan.
EF+Math set out with an ambitious goal: to dramatically improve math learning outcomes for students in grades 3–8, with particular focus on Black and Latino students and students of all races experiencing poverty. The program’s innovative approach centered on strengthening executive function (EF) skills—the core cognitive assets every student possesses.
EF+Math concluded its time-bound cycle as an AERDF program in 2026 after five years of advanced, inclusive R&D. The program’s legacy lives on through the Resource Library—a dynamic hub designed to guide continued innovation and bring research-backed, equity-centered products and practices into classrooms and schools across the country.
