The MMP has several ongoing activities related to the accomplishment of the partnership goals.

University courses are offered to teachers of the Milwaukee Public Schools to facilitate professional growth in teaching mathematics. These courses are often co-taught by University faculty and Mathematics leaders from MPS, ensuring high quality content and district relevance to the participants.

The IHE Network was formed to help improve the quality of teacher education programs at many of the institutions of higher education throughout southeastern Wisconsin, both private and public. Quality instruction will lead to greater mathematics understanding and achievement in the students of this area.

Mathematics educators from MATC and UWM have been devising strategies to help prepare high school students for successful enrollment in college mathematics courses by sponsoring free talks, developing placement-test study guides, and conducting research through the Transition to College Mathematics initiative.

Teams of Mathematicians, Mathematics Educators, and the Teachers-in-Residence are working collaboratively in "Design Teams" to develop or revise curriculum taught to pre-service Education majors with a Mathematics Focus Area.

The "Math Fellows" program is targeted to teachers in grades 5-8 who wish to improve their understanding of key topics in mathematics by enrolling in courses specially geared for them through the UWM. Completion of the program results in a certificate of recognition from MPS and may qualify the teachers to have a "mathematics minor" notation added to their University transcript. s

Started in 2007, the "Developing Geometric Knowledge for Teaching" project was founded to support elementary and middle school (K-8) teachers in studying the big ideas of geometry aligned to the Wisconsin Assessment Framework.
