Overview
The Connecting Mathematics to Other Subject Areas Grant, offered by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, aims to enhance high school mathematics education through interdisciplinary lessons and materials. Grants support the creation of resources that facilitate mathematical modeling while connecting math to real-world contexts. Eligible applicants are educators teaching math in grades 9-12, and proposals should include a timeline for development and expected student impact.
Proposal InformationMaterials/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.Mathematical modeling involves student choice, including the assumptions made in the posing of answerable questions in open-ended situations. The practice of modeling requires students to make sense of a scenario, identify a problem to be solved, mathematize it, apply the mathematization to reach a solution and check the viability of the solution.Proposals must address the plan for developing and evaluating materials including a timeline with action steps, and anticipated impact on students' learning.
