Description
This grant supports high school mathematics educators in the creation and implementation of innovative lessons that engage students in data science through mathematics. The goal is to foster the development of educational materials—such as print or digital booklets, videos, or web-based resources—that make clear, relevant connections between data science and grades 9-12 mathematics. Projects should emphasize the use of real data sets, promote inquiry and data analysis, and highlight the relationship between mathematics, data science, and real-world applications. Proposals must include a detailed plan for lesson development and evaluation, with a focus on enhancing students’ understanding of data science and its integration with mathematics and other disciplines.
