Assess, in partnership with the mentor, what advice and resources students need throughout their work. Review the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act which requires children under the age of 13 to have parental consent before communicating directly with a Making Mathematics mentor. The 2000-2001 school year is the trial run of this program. Look through the Teacher Handbook , which includes lesson plans you can use to help your students develop mathematics research skills. Look through our Mathematics Project Page .
Mentors can also work with students who have posed their own research questions.
Identify a course that you would like to enhance with mathematics research or a group of students who are interested in doing research. Decide when during the school year project work with a mentor should begin. Fill in the Teacher Application . You will receive an electronic mail message from the Making Mathematics staff with additional information regarding the project and availability of mentors.
