Nebraska Math

image for project Nebraska Math Nebraska Math aims to improve achievement for all students and narrow achievement gaps among at-risk populations by focusing on three key transition points along the mathematics continuum: the mathematics education of children in transition from kindergarten through early primary to grade 3; the algebra transition from middle to high school and the transition of new secondary math teachers from certification to the classroom.

The project is focused on four strategies; (i) Developing an active and mature partnership by linking mathematics teachers and school administrators from across Nebraska with university mathematicians and mathematics educators and early childhood educators; (ii) Strengthening the mathematical and pedagogical knowledge for teaching of participating teachers and their professional interactions with other teachers in their schools; (iii) Improving students' competence, beliefs and attitudes about mathematics, their appreciation of the importance of sustained effort, and their knowledge of mathematics; and (iv) Contributing to the research in mathematics education through a mixed methods research design.
