Deadline: November 7, 2024
Presented by the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) in partnership with School Library Journal (SLJ), the 2024-25 Mathical Book Prize Collection Development Awards program will provide $850 to up to 36 Title I U.S. schools to purchase Mathical Book Prize titles for their schools.
The Mathical Book Prize recognizes outstanding youth trade fiction and nonfiction that inspire a love of math. Prize-winning novels, biographies, chapter books and picture books are selected yearly by a committee of math teachers, reading teachers, mathematicians, librarians, early childhood experts, and others.
To be eligible, schools must document their Title I status and employ a full- or part-time librarian who meets state requirements for school library media certification and is currently employed as a media specialist, teacher librarian, or equivalent position.
Priority will be given to schools whose library staff demonstrate the greatest promise in using funds to advance the goals of their school library, and who are enthusiastic about encouraging students to explore a love of mathematics in their everyday lives. The diversity of geographic location and grade level of students served will be considered in determining the winners. The prize is made possible with support from the Firedoll Foundation, the Guru Krupa Foundation, and the Luce-Fahey Family Foundation.
