Community Outreach

No one needs to tell you how important math is, especially when K-12 is urging students to take more, colleges are expecting more upon entry and the workplace is demanding more on-the-job. Consequently, math information abounds! As a result, many parents and students are left feeling confused about where to turn to learn about math in a practical, one-stop, user-friendly way.

The content in these web pages is designed for educators to use in classrooms, conferences, school events, and public meetings.

Several of the Phase II Transition Math Project (TMP) local partnerships developed outreach materials and messages sharing the importance of mathematics achievement with students, their families, and their communities.

Their products and activities took several innovative forms – from brochures and posters, to videos and high school presentations. In every partnership highlighted in this article, public outreach was a natural result and extension of diligent work in developing professional communities and instructional materials.
