The GK-12 MAVS project provides a seamless transition in mathematics that spans the school curriculum and bridges to research-level mathematics. It involves mathematics research faculty, graduate students, teachers, administrators, and K-12 students. The MAVS partnership builds upon a longstanding collaboration between The University of Texas at Arlington’s (UT Arlington) Department of Mathematics and the Arlington Independent School District (AISD) for improving mathematics education in its schools.
