Eligibility

Connecting Mathematics to Other Subject Areas Grant (9-12), with an application deadline in November, offers numerous awards of $4000 each.

Description

The Connecting Mathematics to Other Subject Areas Grant (9-12) supports the development and implementation of high school lessons and/or materials that engage students in mathematical modeling and making interdisciplinary curricular connections. Materials/lessons may be in the form of e-booklets, videos, or physical models that represent and help mathematize real-world problems and lead to a solution. The focus of these materials should be on mathematical modeling and the connectivity of mathematics to other fields or to the world around us, including new discoveries in mathematics. Proposals must address the plan for developing and evaluating materials including a timeline with action steps, and anticipated impact on students' learning. Applicants must be persons or groups currently teaching mathematics in grades 9-12. Past recipients of this award are not eligible to reapply. The applicant must be a current Essential or Premium member of NCTM. A letter of support from the principal at the applicant's school and a teaching colleague must be submitted.
