As of early 2016, most of the teachers, coaches, and principals featured on this site are from schools participating in Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative work in California, which was funded by the Noyce Foundation from 1997 to 2009. The Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative developed a large proportion of the content on this site, including all the Problems of the Month dated 2015 or earlier.

The Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin is deeply grateful to the Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative and to the Noyce Foundation, and gratefully acknowledges the creativity, innovation, and dedication of the many people who developed the Inside Mathematics website and whose work with the Silicon Valley Mathematics Initiative is highlighted here.

The social and emotional learning and mathematics materials were developed jointly by the Dana Center and the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), with support from the Noyce Foundation.
