Preparing for Success in Algebra is a California Mathematics and Science Partnership (CaMSP) grant. The program's primary objective is to elevate the academic performance of students in mathematics, encompassing those from grade 5 through Algebra 1, by enriching the content knowledge and pedagogical expertise of classroom teachers through a series of intensive professional learning activities.

This innovative initiative has been made possible through a collaborative partnership involving the Los Angeles Unified School District, Local District 6, and esteemed institutions such as the University of California, San Diego; the University of California, Irvine; San Diego State University; and the San Diego Mathematics Project. Together, these partners have pooled their resources, expertise, and dedication to empower educators with the tools and knowledge needed to inspire and support their students in mastering algebra and excelling in mathematics.

The heart of our program is a team of passionate educators and experts who serve as math problem writers, curriculum developers, and instructional coaches. These math problem writers are instrumental in crafting engaging and challenging mathematical problems and exercises that align with the curriculum standards, ensuring that students are equipped with the problem-solving skills essential for success in algebra and beyond. Through their tireless efforts, we aim to provide teachers with a wealth of high-quality instructional materials, including worksheets, assessments, and lesson plans, designed to foster deep mathematical understanding.

With the Preparing for Success in Algebra program, we are committed to nurturing a community of educators who are not only well-versed in the subject matter but are also equipped with effective teaching strategies to engage and motivate students in their mathematical journey. Together, we are dedicated to unlocking the potential of every student and paving the way for their future success in mathematics and beyond.
