DCF Mathematics evolved from our drive to effectively and efficiently support classroom teachers.

Our mission is for every child to develop conceptual fluency and problem solving skills in mathematics through the use of targeted assessment, digital and constructivist learning, and high quality teaching.  We provide professional development for teachers that builds an understanding of how to plan purposeful activities, differentiate instruction and utilize technology with an end-goal of increased student achievement in mathematics.
