Every year the Somerville Mathematics Fund offers teacher grants for K-12 teachers in Somerville who have interesting and exciting ideas to support math learning and enrichment for their students. The grant is open to teachers in all of the schools in Somerville, both public and parochial. The grant application is on the Somerville Mathematics Fund website and is due by January 7, 2021.
The maximum amount of any grant is $500 per year. Previous winners are welcome to apply again as long as they have completed their report on the previous grant. You can read about last year’s grant winners on the Somerville Math Fund blog or by requesting a copy of this year’s annual newsletter which will be mailed in early December.The Somerville Mathematics Fund, was chartered in 2000 to celebrate and encourage achievement in mathematics in the city of Somerville, Massachusetts.
