Math Curriculum Developer - Early Elementary Specialist (K-2)

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 an inspiring educator with experience in K-2 classrooms to help expand our Beast Academy Math Curriculum into a full-classroom experience to be delivered in schools across the country. Our Early Elementary Specialist will be a key contributor in shaping the students' experiences in their first few years of math discovery.

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

• Your K-2 classroom experience as a teacher has given you strong intuition and conviction about how we might craft learning experiences for Early Elementary students.
• You've built a passion for math through teaching or doing mathematics, and are eager to guide motivated students on mathematical explorations.
• You enjoy thinking about math and solving puzzles like this. You can think of a couple of 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.
• 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.
