Secondary Math Content Writer

The ideal candidate understands the progression of mathematical

concepts across middle and high school, can design instructionally sound practice and

activity materials, and writes with clarity and precision for adolescent learners.

This is a hands-on content development role operating within fast-paced production

cycles. Writers must be comfortable drafting, revising, and refining materials based on

internal and client feedback while maintaining strict alignment to standards and

mathematical accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

Content Development

• Write clear, accurate, and standards-aligned student-facing materials for Grades

612 math, including:

1. Teacher presentation materials and teacher guidance
2. Practice sets and problem banks
3. Structured activity sheets
4. Scaffolded worked examples
5. Graphic organizers (e.g., problem-solving frameworks)
6. Retrieval and spiral review resources
7. Vocabulary supports and reference tools

• Develop problems and tasks that reflect grade-level rigor, depth of knowledge,

and assessment expectations.

• Ensure mathematical precision, appropriate notation, and conceptual clarity.
• Translate lesson objectives and standards into coherent, student-friendly instructional artifacts.

Standards Alignment

• Align all materials to U.S. secondary math standards (state-specific standards).
• Ensure vertical coherence across grade bands (e.g., proportional reasoning

linear relationships functions algebraic modeling).

Design and Usability

• Apply clean, well-structured layouts using templates and basic formatting tools (no advanced design software required).
• Organize content to support logical problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.
• Maintain consistency with style, branding, and formatting guidelines.

Revision and Quality Improvement

• Revise content based on editorial, curriculum, and client feedback.
• Conduct self-review for mathematical accuracy, clarity, and standards alignment.
• Incorporate feedback efficiently while meeting tight production deadlines.

Collaboration and Workflow

• Partner with instructional designers, editors, and specialists to ensure materials align with broader curriculum architecture.
• Manage multiple assignments and revision cycles within defined timelines.

Qualifications

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Mathematics Education, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated knowledge of U.S. secondary mathematics standards (Grades 612).
• Strong understanding of middle school and high school math content, including topics such as:

1. Ratios and proportional reasoning
2. Expressions and equations
3. Linear relationships and systems
4. Functions
5. Geometry
6. Statistics and probability
7. Algebra I and II concepts

• Exceptional fluency in English with strong instructional writing skills.
• Experience creating math instructional materials or assessments.
• High level of mathematical accuracy and attention to detail.
• Comfort working in fast-paced environments with iterative revisions.

Preferred Experience

• Experience writing for a curriculum publisher, edtech company, or school district.
• Secondary math classroom teaching experience.
• Familiarity with state assessments (e.g., STAAR or similar).
• Experience working in Teams or similar collaborative platforms.
• Understanding of accessibility and readability considerations in math materials.

Key Competencies

• Strong mathematical content expertise
• Deep understanding of secondary math progression and rigor
• Precision and accuracy in problem writing
• Ability to translate standards into high-quality student tasks
• Clear and structured instructional writing
• Responsiveness to feedback
• Time management in rapid production cycles
• Thoughtful use of AI tools to enhance efficiency while maintaining quality
