Mission & History

In 2013, The University of Florida joined forces with Study Edge, a leading tutoring provider, to dramatically improve student achievement in Algebra 1—a required course that is a key “gateway” to higher-level math courses and high-growth careers in STEM fields. Algebra Nation is the result of this collaboration.

In 2016, we rebuilt our resources from the ground up to provide a customized experience for Algebra 1 students and teachers across the state of Michigan. Our videos, workbooks, online practice tool, and teacher materials have all been aligned to the Michigan Mathematics Standards and validated by professors from Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Michigan-Flint.

Thanks to a unique partnership with the Michigan Department of Education and the Michigan legislature, all Algebra 1 students and teachers in Michigan can receive access to Algebra Nation—including access to our online resources and hard-copy workbooks—at no cost. Algebra Nation will also provide free training and professional development to teachers and administrators using our resources.
