The MOST research project is a collaboration among researchers at Brigham Young University, Michigan Technological University, and Western Michigan University that focuses on improving the teaching of secondary school mathematics by improving teachers' abilities to use student thinking during instruction to develop mathematical concepts. Leveraging MOSTs (2012–2017) focused on conceptualizing high-potential instances of student thinking (MOSTs) that, if capitalized on in-the-moment, would support student learning of important mathematics. Building on MOSTs (2017-2023) focuses on conceptualizing the teaching practice of building on such high-potential instances.
