What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Math Curriculum Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Math Curriculum Specialist, you need a solid background in mathematics education, curriculum development experience, and often a teaching license or advanced degree in education or math. Familiarity with state standards, assessment tools, and digital learning platforms is commonly required. Strong analytical skills, creativity, and the ability to collaborate with teachers and administrators help drive effective curriculum adoption. These skills are crucial for ensuring math curricula are engaging, standards-aligned, and effective in improving student learning outcomes.

What are some common challenges faced when developing and implementing a math curriculum, and how can they be addressed?

One common challenge in math curriculum development is aligning content with both state standards and the diverse learning needs of students. Curriculum developers often need to balance rigorous academic goals with accessible instructional strategies. Collaboration with teachers is essential to gather feedback on what works in the classroom and to adjust materials accordingly. Staying updated with the latest educational research and technology can also help ensure the curriculum remains engaging and effective. Open communication between curriculum teams and instructional staff can help address these challenges and foster successful implementation.

Job description

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 Math Curriculum Developers to shape innovative and engaging mathematical learning opportunities for motivated K-12 students.

The Math Curriculum Developer will be:

  • Expanding and refining our Beast Academy curriculum for motivated elementary school students who are willing to face hard problems
  • Creating courses, lessons, activities, games, and puzzles for delivery in our in-person AoPS Academy learning centers across the US

  • You're excited about helping students grapple with and enrich their understanding of mathematical ideas through creating cognitively demanding math tasks
  • Your classroom experience as a teacher or student has given you strong intuition and conviction about how we might best inspire and train the great problem-solvers of the next generation
  • 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
  • You have elementary or middle school math contest experience, as it is strongly preferred

  • Future Planning: 401(k) with company match
  • Quality of Life: PTO Plan and supportive leadership that gives you the work-life balance you deserve
  • Ease of Transition: Relocation bonus (if currently located outside of San Diego)

Background Check: 

Please note that employment is contingent on the successful completion of a background check.

Work Authorization:
