MAA Launches Aggregate Education Initiative

The Aggregate Education Initiative was recently launched and will provide educational materials and aggregate samples for elementary teachers to use in their classroom.

We have determined, based on the State of Michigan curriculum guidelines that the appropriate grade-level for this information to be used is third grade. We are asking members to identify a school and teacher that they would like to give our educational materials to. We are also asking that the member be a resource for a classroom presentation or a site visit.

In order to take part in this program, please download and complete the form below and return it to the MAA office as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact Neil Casaceli at (810)217-1152 or the MAA office at (517)381-1732.
