Funded by the National Science Foundation and based at TERC in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Weaving Gender Equity into Math Reform seeks to assist staff developers, curriculum writers, and workshop leaders in expanding the equity content of their workshops, videos, and written materials for teachers. The project is investigating the specific question of gender equity in math reform, as well as the larger equity issues that these reforms pose for students from various academic, socio-economic, and linguistic backgrounds. Part of the website includes various curricula and research on equity in education, published articles in various magazines, journals, and web sites.
Begun in 1994 as a project of the Saturday Academy in Portland, Oregon, Advocates for Women in Science, Engineering and Mathematics, or AWSEM, brings together parents, educators and women professionals in science-related fields to kindle and support young women's interest in science, engineering, mathematics and technology (SEMT). Believing that this loss of talent is not only a personal but also a national tragedy, AWSEM developed a model of advocacy, as well as a variety of products, designed to encourage girls to pursue their early interests in the sciences.

Originally a project of the Boulder Valley School District, Boulder, Colorado, funded by the Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project and the US West Foundation, and supported by the Los Alamos National Laboratory Creating Connections was a rural math and science initiative funded by the Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project and by the US West Foundation. The ultimate goal of the project was to improve math and science education in rural settings. The project consisted of three components. The first component involved training rural math and science teachers on the use of Internet at 20 regional sites in the United States. Each site hosted approximately 26 rural math and science teachers for a two day workshop during the summer of 1994. The second component to the project consisted of building a data base called SAMI (Science And Math Initiatives). SAMI is a clearing house of resources, funding, and curriculum for rural math and science teachers. The third component was a 2-year online support piece for the original workshop participants. Support was provided through e-mail, an 800 phone line, and a newsletter. This 2-year piece also included an online course to further enhance the participants' knowledge of the Internet.
