Description
The SIAM Support for Teaching Math Modeling (STeMM) Grant Program supports teachers developing or implementing high-impact learning experiences that show students how math and data can answer important real-world questions. Run by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), the program funds mathematical modeling activities for classrooms or extracurricular programs. Activities must combine a mathematical modeling learning objective with a real-world scenario.
Sharing teaching resources is central to the program. Awardees provide materials and instructions that another teacher could use, together with a reflection on the activity. Selection considers the clarity of the modeling objectives, feasibility for the intended class size and level, student interest, and the likelihood that other teachers will adopt or adapt the activity.
