When 20 unique donors make a gift to the CEMC Elementary School Innovation Fund, an extra $2,000 will be unlocked!
The CEMC Elementary School Innovation Fund will help develop free online courseware that covers content taught in Grades 4 through 6 in ways that are accessible and appropriate for these younger audiences and their teachers, and in ways that promote the thinking that lies at the heart of mathematics. CEMC already offers similar courseware for students in Grades 7 through 12, which has proven wildly successful, particularly during the pandemic when demand for the materials skyrocketed. The impetus behind the CEMC’s plan to create new elementary courseware came from listening to challenges expressed by students and teachers that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated. By supporting the CEMC Elementary School Innovation Fund, you can help ensure everyone has the tools to succeed.

“Everyone has an ability in mathematics, but it needs to be fostered to become an essential skill and a fundamental pleasure. That’s why supporting young learners and their teachers is so vital. By infusing mathematics and computing into elementary school education, we can keep young learners engaged and make mathematics and computer science more pervasive and inclusive. With a gift to a fund like this you can make a difference. You can help a young person say, ‘Look, I’m good at this, and this matters!’”
