Thirty-six schools will receive grants to purchase Mathical Book Prize titles.
The Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) and School Library Journal (SLJ) have announced 36 winners of the 2024–25 Mathical Collection Development Awards.
The winning school libraries, all representing Title I schools, will each receive grants of $850 to purchase titles from the Mathical Book Prize list. In this sixth cycle of the funding program, the Mathical Collection Development Awards are presented by SLMath in partnership with SLJ and aim to get literary fiction and nonfiction inspiring a love of math into the hands of K–12 students in Title I schools.
The Mathical Book Prize is awarded annually by SLMath in partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and in coordination with the Children’s Book Council.
