MAA Dolciani Mathematics Enrichment Grants (DMEG) program supports projects designed to develop mathematical enrichment programs for students who show promise or interest in middle school or high school. We will also host a one-week summer camp of various activities including math games for the participants of MMC and students from other areas of WV in the summer of 2023. In addition, the Math Festival at the end of the school year will be hosted to recognize students’ hard work and celebrate their achievements.
MMC will establish partnerships with secondary and middle school math teachers to work together to improve the performance of the students in math and science and at the national math competitions such as MATHCOUNTS and to inspire students’ interests and passions in STEM. Project Summary: Morgantown Math Circle (MMC) is an after-school mathematical enrichment program mainly for students from 4-8th grades with extension to 9-12th grades.Our aim is to challenge students while exploring the beauty of mathematics, and provide opportunities to for them to experience mathematics as a creative art, which we hope will encourage them to further their mathematical studies in high school, college, and beyond. Our activities will help middle schoolers develop mathematical habits of mind by actually doing mathematics, that is, investigating, experimenting, posing questions, modeling problems, conjecturing, justifying solutions and critiquing the reasoning of others. Camp participants will see aspects of mathematics and topics that are not typically part of the middle grades curriculum. The Summer Oshkosh Mathematics Academy is for students entering grades 6-8 and features student exploration and a creative problem-solving approach to mathematics. Project Summary: This project will fund a summer math camp program at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh for talented middle school students.Project Title: Summer Oshkosh Mathematics Academy.
