Each year Raytheon’s MathMovesU program recognizes 32 middle-school/high-school math teachers as “Math Heroes” for their effective, innovative methods to promote student enthusiasm and achievement in math.  Students, parents, school administrators, volunteers, and colleagues may nominate teachers for their innovative learning approaches to make math “real and relatable” for their students.   Nominations are due by April 9.  Each Math Hero receives a $2,500 award, and his/her school receives the same amount.  Finalists will be selected based on compelling nominations describing the teachers’ effectiveness and creativity in teaching math using new approaches.  The 32 Math Heroes will be selected based on the finalists’ plans for using the award to promote math.
