Look for this photograph in the next UNM-Valencia Newsletter. Thank you Michele Diel for setting this up. Amy Larson suggested that the scholarship recipients work with students and teachers in the local schools to implement a Math Counts program in Los Lunas and Belen. Amy has contacted the district director of the program and should receive materials soon. In this program, teams of 7th and 8th graders work together on math problems and then compete individually and as teams in the Math Counts Competition in Albuquerque.
Students meet after school to prepare for the event.
We would need teachers to sponsor the event. Valentina Ortega said that she would try to find a sponsor in Belen. We still need a sponsor in Los Lunas. Committee members agreed that this sounded like an excellent idea. Amy Larson will give us more information about this program at the next meeting.
