Advancing Student Achievement
Grants Through its Advancing Student Achievement program, the
Actuarial Foundation awards monetary grants to schools and
nonprofit groups throughout the United States and Canada. The
basic requirement for schools or groups seeking funding is that
they develop a viable mentoring program involving actuaries in
the teaching of mathematics to children in private or public
schools. The program brings together actuaries and educators in
local classroom environments with the belief that interaction
with real-world mentors will boost students' interest and
achievement in math. The Actuarial Foundation provides a local
network of actuaries ready to participate, as well as
suggestions on how to integrate math concepts from the workplace
into the classroom. Groups applying for grants will be given
wide latitude in designing programs that enhance learning and
create a "love of math" in each student.

or creative entry incorporating the use of mimio at his or her
school. Mimio, which works with PC and Mac platforms, attaches

written or drawn in color and in real time. Rooted in the
classroom, mimio originated at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology as a practical solution to a frustrating teaching
dilemma: Students were so focused on accurately duplicating the
drawings on the classroom's dry-erase whiteboard that they often
missed important lecture details and failed to actively
participate in class discussions. The contest is open to
educators from around the world. Educators interested in
entering the Think Ink contest can do so by visiting the
company's web site and completing an entry form. Entrants should
describe the creative ways in which they would incorporate mimio
to foster greater student-teacher collaboration and productivity
within the classroom. Contact:
