Alignment Nashville’s Math A-Team, composed of MNPS staff and community members, works to make math more accessible for students and their families by shifting mindsets about what it means to be "good at math."
Summer Math Passport Challenge - 2023 Pilot
In the summer of 2023, the Math A-Team piloted a Summer Math Passport Challenge, providing students and families with real-life applications of math, illustrating its relevance outside of the classroom.
Students were given “passports” to different locations, with corresponding math activities to complete. The Math A-Team partnered with Family University to encourage parent/caregiver participation and to shift family mindsets around engaging in math at home.
