Mathematics Partnership Grant Strengthens Math Teaching and Learning
Description
"A strong mathematics program is a vital part of any curriculum, and now Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) will have more resources to make sure their students improve in math. This past fall, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded $20 million over five years to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to support the Milwaukee Partnership Academy's work to improve the mathematics achievements of MPS students. UWM's Center for Mathematics and Science Education Research (CMSER) will administer the award and coordinate efforts for the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership between UWM and its partner institutions, MPS and the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC).
Mathematicians, mathematics educators, teachers and staff from these institutions will work collaboratively to support mathematics for Milwaukee students in kindergarten through college. The purpose of the grant is to build the capacity of the schools for continuous improvement toward student success in mathematics."
