ATMIM is beginning a new grant program of up to $500 for K–12 teachers of Massachusetts for a project to improve or enrich mathematics instruction in the classroom or in an after-school program. The teacher must be teaching in a school located in Massachusetts and a member of ATMIM or part of group membership. The deadline for this year’s grant is December 15, 2025.
All applications are being evaluated at this time. Applicants will be notified by January 15, 2026.
As a math teacher at a K-5 school, the biggest challenge areas I see in math are related to students’ inability to see what numbers truly represent. Digi-Blocks is a manipulative that is incredibly useful for teaching students about place value.
