The AIMS Collaboratory and its affiliates, subsidiaries, related corporate entities and authorized partners, (collectively and individually, “AIMS”, “we”, “us”) are dedicated to improving how educators teach and children learn mathematics.

In some cases, AIMS content, media, and other products and services may be integrated into websites and mobile applications provided by third parties (including social networking sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X), and this Policy also applies to information that we collect through those channels. By using the Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
