We offer materials grants to help ensure access to high-quality, hands-on learning experiences which have been shown to positively influence mathematical understanding and achievement. Teachers can use these supplemental classroom materials to engage students with representing, solving, and talking mathematics.
Our current grant program features Number Rack Explorations (NRE) by Math Learning Center. This instructional resource supports the development of a deep understanding of numbers through 20, ways they can be represented, and ways they can be composed and decomposed to support operational fluency (that is, flexibility, accuracy, efficiency).
Applications from US-based nonprofit institutions are accepted on a rolling basis subject to material availability.
Our goal is to reach educators seeking a high-quality, hands-on approach to building number sense and developing fact fluency. Please note this is a district-level program and requires appropriate administrator approval.
Eligible districts will meet the following criteria:
Not currently using the Bridges in Mathematics or Number Corner programs from The Math Learning Center
Seeking a high-quality, hands-on approach to building number sense and developing fact fluency
Serving high-needs students (preferred)
Before submitting your application, please preview Number Rack Explorations to determine whether it is a good match for your needs.
The information required by the application is listed below. You will be asked to provide brief answers to the following questions:
What is your core elementary mathematics curriculum?
What specific role would Number Rack Explorations play in your district mathematics program?
How many K–2 classrooms are in your district?
How many kits are you requesting?
Note: Program guidelines allow for one gift of a minimum of one kit per grade level K–2 up to a maximum of 20% of K–2 classrooms.
You will also be asked to provide contact information for you and a district level administrator, such as your superintendent, curriculum director, or an administrator in an equivalent position. Finally, you will need to provide your Employer Identification Number (EIN) and shipping address.
