Using Music to Teach Mathmatics Grants for Grades K – 2 Teachers
From the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics:

The purpose of this grant is to incorporate music into the elementary school classroom to help young students learn mathematics. For 2007–2008, grants with a maximum of $3,000 each will be awarded to persons currently teaching mathematics in grades K–2 level. This award is for individual classroom teachers or small groups of teachers collaborating in one grade or across grade levels. Any acquisition of equipment must support the proposed plan but not be the primary focus of the grant. Proposals must address the following: the combining of mathematics and music; the plan for improving students’ learning of mathematics; and the anticipated impact on students’ achievement. This grant is supported by the Esther Mendlesohn Fund and NCTM. Read more at the NCTM website.
