Engage your students as doers and creators of mathematics in semester-long, data-driven applied mathematics investigations that support core grade-level learning.
AMMP investigations focus on:
- Grade 7: Heat Islands in My Community
- Grade 8: The Spread of Covid-19
- Grade 9: Aerospace Endeavors of South LA engineers
Click here for a sample activity from the Grade 9 investigation.
Implement as an:
- Elective Course
- After School Enrichment
- STEM Magnet PBL
- Exploratory Math Lab
incorporated into
core mathematics courses
In AMMP, your students will investigate mathematics relevant to their community on small research teams with guidance from you and a team of STEM undergraduate mentors. In the curriculum, they’ll interact with videos and vignettes in which a diverse group of STEM professionals share their personal STEM journey. AMMP provides “windows and mirrors” that help your students view mathematics as a socially useful endeavor in which their whole person can engage. Authored by UCLA Mathematics, LA industry partners, and The Curtis Center to rehumanize mathematics for secondary students, AMMP is a Bill & Melinda Gates Grand Challenge for U.S. Education awardee.
