The coronavirus pandemic has caused an urgent need in tribal and adjacent communities for new innovations to serve students learning from home - laying bare the inability of the vast majority of educational software to meet that need.growing mathwill provide an interactive digital platform populated with classroom-ready educational resources and teacher support tools that will enable the rapid deployment of lessons for students in grades 3-8 that can be used in the classroom, at home or in a hybrid model. Resources can be accessed offline and on low-end hardware.with 130 distance learning modules, 123 lesson plans and leveraging existing open educational resources, growing math seeks not to reinvent the wheel, but to transform a wagon wheel into a performance racing tire. In a one-stop site, teachers will be able to access standards-aligned curriculum, download software, see student data, get technical support and participate in professional development.each educational module includesa game, cultural component, mathematics component, agricultural science component and data collection, aimed at increasing math and science achievement.growing math can be implemented in pilot schools within the first month of funding. Funding will enable US tostreamline deployment and implementation of existing resources while significantly augmenting the library of educational modules and lesson plans. This regional project by 7 generation games will serve 1,500 teachers and 27,000 students across 240 schools in tribal communities and surrounding areas in six states: arizona, minnesota, new mexico, north dakota, oregon and south dakota.
