Elevate Math Wyoming will provide up to 28 weeks of free, individual math tutoring to K-12 students seeking additional support for math intervention, enrichment or acceleration and exhibiting demonstrated financial needs. Students in this program will have teacher recommendations and commit to strict attendance and homework completion policies. Tutoring will be provided at no cost to the student, but no-show fees scaled to the family income level will be enforced. Elevate Math Wyoming is funding this work through a combination of local grants and Student Sponsorships, which connect donors directly to the funded students. Individual tutoring may be used to provide intervention, acceleration and enrichment services for students of all grade and ability levels.

Fully funded, the program will provide free tutoring to 20 local students across all grade levels, for a total of 560 hours of 1-1 math support.

Elevate Math Wyoming will train and deploy tutors into high-needs math classrooms at the local, public, middle and high schools for the 2025/2026 school year. These classes are serving the highest proportion of underserved students, who consistently enter 6th and 9th grade with significant gaps in fundamental math concepts. TCSD is requesting skilled math support in their highest-needs math classrooms to assist teachers and provide effective, targeted intervention to solidify foundational math concepts in concert with regular curriculum. This work will be supported by a combination of individual contributions and grants.

Fully funded, the program will provide 2,014 hours of in-class skilled support during the 2025/2026 school year.

To help reinforce essential core math concepts at the elementary level prior to entering middle school, Elevate Math Wyoming will pair community volunteers and high school tutors with elementary school students for 28 weeks (1hr/week) starting in October 2025. In this free program, students will practice and solidify fundamental math concepts (e.g., number sense, place value, operations, fractions, decimals, etc.) while playing games. A math tutor will also be present to provide targeted intervention when necessary. This program will take place at Jackson Elementary School (JES) during their “After the Bell” program to take advantage of JES’s location on the activity bus route. Elevate Math Wyoming will provide two sessions of group support per week.

This program is fully funded and will support up to 20 students during the 2025/2026 school year, for a total of 560 hours of group math support.

Elevate Math Wyoming will offer a free, “math intensive” pilot program in the Spring of 2026 to provide group enrichment, acceleration and targeted intervention services at the elementary level. The math intensive will support two sessions of students (2x/week for 6 weeks), with one cohort focused on project-based enrichment/acceleration, and the other focused on targeted intervention in foundational math concepts. Professional math tutors will lead both sessions.

• Enrichment Intensive - Small groups of eligible students will participate in topic based, student-led learning, culminating in a group project. Students eligible for the Enrichment Intensive will have “advanced” WYTOPP scores and/or a teacher recommendation for participation.

• Math Foundations Intensive - Small group work focused on grade level standards and filling foundational gaps. The Math Foundations Intensive will offer additional, targeted intervention for students identified as needing further math support towards the end of the school year and/or prior to entering middle school.

The intensives will take place at JES and/or at partnering locations and will be supported by a combination of grants and individual contributions.

This program is fully funded and will support 20 students during the 2025/2026 school year, for a total of 240 hours of group math support and enrichment.

Elevate Math Wyoming will compile a library of resources to support tutors, parents, and community partners providing math support for pre-K students through high school. Research has shown that early number sense is predictive of later math performance and that math manipulatives significantly improve students' understanding of number sense. Furthermore, math manipulatives are essential for students suffering from dyscalculia and/or other learning disabilities, and it is advantageous to use multi-sensory techniques when working with these stuents at all levels. Check out this video for an example of how math manipulatives can be used to visualize algebra.

To ensure program effectiveness and aid math literacy efforts within our greater community, Elevate Math Wyoming will provide training and multi-sensory math resources and supplies to all math tutors assisting our programs. Our volunteers, parents and community partners will also enjoy free access to these resources.

Elevate Math Wyoming will pair local STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) mentors with rising educators and high school tutors assisting our programming so that students can gain a deeper understanding of available careers in STEM and further develop their STEM identity. Mentors will share their own experience and journeys, helping students aspiring to careers in STEM with course and college selections, program decisions and strategies for internships. The mentorship program offers an avenue for accomplished community members to connect directly with local STEM students, effectively expanding their network as they move into the next phase of their lives.
