Connecting Math to Careers
The question asked in every math classroom year after year is, When will I ever need to know this in the real world?”
The answer is P2C Math.
P2C Math bridges the gap between textbook theory and real-life math applications. It helps students understand the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’, propelling them towards success and fueling economic growth. Elevate your math learning experience with P2C Math today!

Career Preparation & Career Spotlight
Build Your Skills & On the Job
Designed as a stop-gap to assess learning throughout each lesson, these exercises give teachers the opportunity to assess student understanding before moving on to the next concept within the class period.
Custom Activities
Teacher autonomy is key. Teachers personalize activities at a class or student level and create assessments to monitor student learning.
Growth Measures
MetaMetrics math assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of mathematical proficiency generating a Quantile® measure.
Student Scores
Access student scores, not grades. Data-driven decision-making that exposes and support effective teaching strategies.
Projects & Rubrics
Scoring rubrics assess student performance based on various criteria, including accuracy, reasoning, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Student Engagement
The real problem is changing the behavior the students have towards math. We keep trying to think up a better math problem, and we think that if we put it in a textbook, that’ll fix it. What we really have to do is take a step back and ask: ‘How do we engage students differently about mathematics?
