Description
Supported by the Theoni Pappas Fund
The purpose of this grant is to create senior high classroom materials or lessons connecting mathematics to other fields. For 2007–2008, grants with a maximum of $3,000 each will be awarded to persons currently teaching mathematics in grades 9–12. Materials may be in the form of books, visual displays, computer programs or displays, slide shows, videotapes, or other appropriate medium. The focus of these materials should be on showing the connectivity of mathematics to other fields or to the world around us.

Proposals must address the following: the plan for developing and evaluating materials, the connectivity to other fields or disciplines, and anticipated impact on students’ learning.
