Four Madison Elementary School teachers have earned Math4Life grants that will greatly benefit Cougar students!!!

 Congratulations to Megan DaGrava, Jen Davis, Eileen Gilmore and Christy Carney whose grants totaled $3,425. Madison Elementary School Principal Andrea Trio said she as excited as the grants will provide instructional resources in classrooms to engage students in the area of mathematics.

 “I'm proud of each one of them, and I look forward to seeing the ways in which our students reap the benefits,” Trio said.

 DaGrava’s grant totaled $520, while Davis’ grant was for $960. Gilmore’s grant was for $945, and Carney’s grant was for $1,000.

 West Virginia’s math4Life initiative is a statewide effort to improve student mathematics performance. The WVDE seeks to work with counties and schools throughout the state to institute best practices, challenging pedagogy, and student engagement strategies to improve students’ mathematics achievement. The math4life statewide plan is designed around a statewide leadership team that works collaboratively to create a system of mathematical improvement from the state level to the district level to the school level and, ultimately, to the student level.

The counties leverage the West Virginia College-and Career-Readiness Standards for Mathematics to select their instructional materials and to implement math programs, technology supports, and community engagement practices to market their local math4life initiatives.
