Kenneth Kidd Grant

FCTM sponsors mini-grants of up to $500 for projects to improve mathematics education.

The Board is looking for high quality projects which will improve mathematics education at any level. 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. Members of the Executive Committee of FCTM are not eligible to receive this award. The annual deadline for applications is May 1. The person receiving the grant will be required to submit a written reflection about the project's implementation and success, to be included in FCTM's journal or newsletter.

The KPK grant committee consists of the President-elect or Past President (Chairperson) and the Vice-Presidents for Elementary, Middle Grades, Senior High, and College. This Committee will review all applications and make recommendations to the Board for approval.
