Algebra is a tool of expression and discovery in all fields of endeavor. From the Arabic al-jabr meaning reunion of broken parts, algebra bridges disparate academic and professional fields and opens doors to a diverse, hi-tech economy. 

Engineers Teaching Algebra was created in 1994 by Mark Love, a managing engineer for a global transportation firm who regularly applied algebra in job tasks right out of college. Collaborating with teachers he developed a unique teaching style that blends Socratic and scientific inquiry. “Students enjoy a lively back-and-forth but, unlike with Socrates, the questions have provable answers. Whether students are strong or weak in math they bring teamwork, good ideas and solutions," Mark Love

We bring a 'field trip' into your classroom. It's not a sit-back-and-watch presentation but a lively, busy exchange of ideas with activities that are hands-on, relevant and fun.

It's a world of ideas and innovation. Algebra is a technical tool, it's a tool of exploration, it's a tool of art and expression. Math is not a subject, it's a necessary language. 

An exciting school event since 1994, Engineers Teaching Algebra has been conducted in 5000 classrooms, 1800 schools, 38 states. From his New Hampshire base Mark Love continues to work with students from middle school to college nationwide.

Engineers Teaching Algebra is an innovative, project-based STEAM experience which blends Socratic and scientific teaching methods. Teachers are invited to observe, participate and provide feedback.

"Thanks to you we have a few new algebra fans! You brought STEM concepts to them in a real, accessible way that we simply can't do as traditional teachers. Your connections between the curriculum and real life applications are invaluable.” Team 8 faculty, Glen Rock Middle School, Glen Rock NJ
