Projects Supported by the Center

Math in the Middle is a partnership among educators at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln Public Schools and Nebraska’s rural Educational Service Units. The focus is improving middle-school student achievement in math, reducing the achievement gaps in the mathematical performance of diverse student populations in Nebraska, and developing intellectual leaders in middle-level mathematics who will affect change within their schools, districts and ESUs. Funded by a five-year, $5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Math in the Middle Institute Partnership, also known as M2 (M Squared), is a 25-month graduate program where teachers tackle a challenging math curriculum taught by faculty in mathematics and mathematics education. Participants earn a master’s degree. In all, about 120 teachers will have participated in the institute by the completion of the project.

A Summer Mathematics Camp for High School Girls provides a stimulating and supportive environment for girls to develop their mathematical ability and interest. The ALL GIRLS/ALL MATH summer camp has been offered since 1997.

The JUMP Program endeavors to help high school students develop mathematical skills necessary for the successful pursuit of educational and career goals.

Women In Science offers students the opportunity to meet and interact first hand with women who are career and academic professionals in science along with graduate and undergraduate university students. Participants discover the vast number of career opportunities open to them in countless professions as diverse as biologists, engineers, pharmacists and the medical fields.
