2020 TODOS Student Recognition Awards

TODOS: Mathematics for All will recognize up to six Chicago-area students in Grades 5-12 at a ceremony on during the 2020 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Centennial Meeting and Exposition in Chicago. Each student will receive a calculator donated by Texas Instruments and a certificate from TODOS. Nominating teachers of award winners will receive a one-year membership/extension in TODOS and a recognition certificate.

To be eligible for TODOS Student Awards, students should be nominated by their mathematics teacher. Teachers may nominate a maximum of two students for the award. To best serve the mission of TODOS, a student nominated for an award must be a member of an underrepresented group—in particular, Latina/o—and should meet at least one of the following eligibility criteria:

1. Has demonstrated sustained success in mathematics;
2. Has shown significant progress in mathematics achievement;
3. Has demonstrated leadership in or out of the classroom regarding mathematics education;
4. Has a specific “mathematics student success story” deserving of recognition (e.g., extraordinary project, overcome obstacles, etc.); or
5. Has gone “above and beyond” in some aspect of his/her mathematics performance.
