Modern Classrooms Project announced a $12 million funding round led by the Skeebo Foundation on October 9, 2026, to develop a free math curriculum grounded in cognitive science.
Funding and Timeline
Modern Classrooms Project, a nonprofit focused on improving math instruction, announced a $12 million funding round led by the Skeebo Foundation. The funding will support the creation of a complete Tier 1 math curriculum grounded in cognitive science that will be free to anyone who wants to use it.
According to the announcement, the middle school curriculum will launch in summer 2027, and the high school curriculum will launch in summer 2028. Core instructional materials will be free to every teacher, school, district, and family.
Curriculum Design
The curriculum will draw on decades of cognitive science research regarding how students learn math. Every class period is designed to include whole-group fluency, explicit instruction of one new skill, guided and blocked practice, a short skill check, and spaced practice.
The base version of the curriculum will be paper-based for traditional implementation. A second pathway will be designed for educators seeking to leverage technology to let students progress at a flexible pace based on mastery.
