Elevate Math Wyoming is providing up to 28 weeks of free, individual math tutoring to K-12 students in need of academic support and exhibiting demonstrated financial needs. Students in this program have teacher recommendations and commit to strict attendance and homework completion policies. Tutoring is provided at no cost to the student, and Elevate Math WY utilizes a weighted lottery to ensure students with the highest needs are prioritized in the application process.

This program is funded through private donations, Student Sponsorships, a Community Foundation of Jackson Hole Competitive grant, and the Education and Family Initiative Grant Fund of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.

Elevate Math Wyoming is supporting‍ tutors in high-needs math classrooms at the local, public, middle and high schools for the 2025/2026 school year. These classes serve high needs students, who often exhibit significant gaps in fundamental math concepts. Elevate Math WY tutors are providing a combination of in-class support and small group work with underserved students during WIN time and after-school.

This program is funded through private philanthropy.

Elevate Math WY’s “Math Practice and Number Sense Development” program at Jackson Elementary School’s “After the Bell” aims to help K-3 students build number sense and reinforce essential core math concepts. In this free program, students practice and solidify fundamental math concepts while playing games. A math lead is present to guide volunteers and provide targeted intervention when necessary. Elevate Math Wyoming provides 2 sessions per week for K-3 students.

This program is funded through private donations as well as a Community Foundation of Jackson Hole Competitive Grant.

Elevate Math Wyoming will offer a free, “math intensive” pilot program in the Spring of 2026 to provide group enrichment, acceleration and targeted intervention services at the elementary level. The math intensive will support two sessions of students (2-3x/week for 6 weeks), with one cohort focused on project-based enrichment/acceleration, and the other focused on targeted intervention in foundational math concepts. Professional math tutors will lead both sessions.

• Enrichment Intensive - Small groups of eligible students will participate in topic based, student-led learning, meant to inspire and challenge young math minds. Students eligible for the Enrichment Intensive will have “advanced” WYTOPP scores and/or a teacher recommendation for participation.

• Math Boot Camp - Small group work focused on grade level standards and filling foundational gaps. The Math Boot Camp will offer additional, targeted intervention for students identified as needing further math support towards the end of the school year and/or prior to entering middle school.

The intensives will take place at the library.

This program is supported by private donations as well as the Education and Family Initiative Grant Fund of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.

Elevate Math WY is compiling 120 free Pre-K number sense kits to be distributed by our partners at Teton Literacy Center and Head Start (Children’s Learning Center) to underserved families over the next two years. Multiple research studies have shown early number sense to be highly predictive of later academic success. Through these free number sense kits, Elevate Math WY hopes to help traditionally undeserved students gain more early exposure to necessary math skills. The contents of the preK number sense kits will be tailored to community needs based on the results of TCSD’s universal number sense screener for kindergarten.

This program is funded through private donations, as well as the Education and Family Initiative Grant Fund of the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.

Elevate Math Wyoming is compiling a library of resources to support tutors, parents, and community partners providing math support for pre-K students through high school. Research has shown that early number sense is predictive of later math performance and that math manipulatives significantly improve students' understanding of number sense. Furthermore, manipulatives and multi-sensory techniques are often essential tools for working with students struggling in math. Check out this video for an example of how math manipulatives can be used to visualize algebra.

To ensure program effectiveness and aid math literacy efforts within our greater community, Elevate Math Wyoming provides guidance and multi-sensory math resources and supplies to all math tutors assisting our programs. Our volunteers, parents and community partners can also enjoy free access to these resources.
