This grant, offered by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is designed to help high school teachers develop and implement lessons that integrate mathematics with data science for grades 9-12. The goal is to foster inquiry-based learning using real-world data sets, analytical methods, and programming to help students recognize trends and patterns through mathematics and statistics. Projects may include print or digital booklets, videos, or web-based resources, and must demonstrate a clear connection to the high school mathematics curriculum and data science concepts.
