Solving Problems of Inequality
middle maths
Middle Maths is a collection of over 40 illustrated narratives based on the saga of three school classmates as they solve problems of being eleven.
The scope of the episodes follows normal standards for grades 5 and 6, including numbers and computation, functions, geometry and measurement, and probability.
Graphic characters are attractive and effective engaging students with illustrations using realistic language and behavior. Our problems are designed to require students to translate an authentic situation into a mathematical representation and then interpret the results back in context, or in other words, use mathematical modeling.
MiddleMaths is publised in formats available to students, parents and teachers complete with illustrated storyboards and explanations.
International Wicked Maths
IWMC offers four team-based contests a year requiring contestants to solve a single problem within ten days.
Solutions include narratives, calculations, charts, drawings, whatever the team (or individual contestant) feels is the best evidence. Impartial judges look for creativity, advanced problem solving strategies, and yes, great solutions.
About Us
Jean Kane du Pont was a remarkable woman who cared deeply about the most vulnerable in society. She fought for women's rights, the rights of prisoners, and for children. She raised the standard of care for young people in the United States. Jean Kane du Pont Youth is a nonprofit that honors her spirit by raising the bar on mathematics performance to provide a fair, equitable, and high-quality education through creative curricula, challenging contests, and support for Title 1 schools dealing with the challenges of rapidly changing technology and skill sets needed for the future of work in America.
Artificial Intelligence
in Schools
Integrating AI into high school education is now imperative. AI is shaping the future, and students need to be prepared for a world where AI is integrated into nearly every industry and application they encounter. AI education teaches students how machines learn and encourages logical reasoning, data-driven decision-making, and ethical considerations. These are skills that enhance problem-solving abilities across subjects, from math to humanities. AI is further transforming industries, and understanding AI principles prepares students for careers in a variety of fields such as healthcare, technology, finance, and more.
Jean Kane du Pont partners with 9to12AI.com to provide two introductory courses for school systems working to integrate this new paradigm into their curriculum: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and its Ethics and Introcution to Machine Learning.
