Grants and Awards – Florida Council of Teachers of Mathematics FCTM, THANK YOU! I am thankful that I was able to attend the conference and even more honored to have received the Tom Denmark grant. It was eye opening to see the differences throughout the state, but empowering to see the commonalities among best practices in math.

It was wonderful networking with so many math educators. I am refreshed with new ideas and energy and can't wait to implement some changes in my classroom (and share)! FCTM will award up to four mini-grants of up to $500 for projects to improve mathematics education in the State of Florida.

The Board is looking for high quality projects which will improve mathematics education at any grade level (Pre-K – Post Secondary).

Projects which have been funded in the past include writing guidelines for competitions at the elementary level, developing monthly activities for each grade level in an elementary school, organizing community resources, etc. Project ideas will be judged on originality, uniqueness, and the potential impact on teachers and students. Any FCTM member with four years of experience in the State of Florida may apply.

The annual deadline for applications is March 14th . The Awardee is required to submit a written reflection about the project’s implementation and success, to be included in FCTM’s journal or newsletter. 1.
