A new program to donate Brick Math materials to schools in Vermont (our home state)!
Brick Math is excited to announce a new grant program for Vermont schools to try Brick Math at no cost! The program, Brick Math VT, will award ten Vermont schools Brick Math materials for use starting January 2024.
Objective:
To donate Brick Math materials to schools in Vermont that are interested in trying a new curriculum for teaching math—one that teaches using the manipulative of LEGO®-compatible bricks. We want to bring this hands-on, screen-free, effective, and fun method of learning math to schools around the state to help Vermont K-8th grade students build success in math.
