UNLV receives 3-year grant from National Science Foundation
UNLV has been awarded more than $250,000 by the National Science Foundation to help examine middle school mathematics coursework across four states.
Professor Travis Olson will use the money to partner with researchers from Brigham Young University, the University of Arkansas and Grand Valley State University, according to a statement issued Thursday by the office of Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev. The science foundation is funding the project with more than $1 million.
The three-year grant will help researchers learn more about how middle school math teachers prepare lesson plans by interviewing and collecting data from instructors. The study aims to develop efforts to boost science, technology, engineering and mathematics research.
