$2.5 million NSF grant to SMU will give teachers a math assessment tool to help students

(Southern Methodist University) A $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation to researchers at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, targets the ongoing struggle of US elementary and high school students with math, a top predictor of future socioeconomic success. The four-year NSF grant to the Simmons School will lead to an assessment system comprised of two universal screening tools to measure mathematical reasoning skills for grades K-2, a critical phase of a child's mathematical development.
