The Dana Raimondi Math Program
started in 2007 to provide low income students in Fremont, California
access to math programs that will allow students to excel. her yearly donation funds will be used to work
with Fremont Unified School District, California to develop a way in which students can
succeed in passing Algebra. This is especially timely since the state of
California is initiating that students take and pass Algebra in the 8th grade.
The design of the materials will be put on our website for all to use.
This fund also helps us to use some of the materials we designed with two other
grants: TPL Inc and Seagate Technology.

Throughout the year the Math Science Nucleus with its
partners, Fremont Unified School District will
develop ways to help those children at risk.
Fremont Unified School District will be working with the Math
Science Nucleus to develop strategies. In 2007 we worked with Brier
Elementary School
to develop afterschool hands-on math program. In 2008 with the new
standards coming in place we discussed different ways in which we could help
students. We contacted Dr. Milt Werner, Superintendent: Dr. Tess
Melendez, Director of Elementary Education; and Dr. Dennis Brown, Director
of Secondary Education and they recommended working in the sixth grade low
income schools and to aid 7 and 8th grade students in math tutoring.
In 2009-10 the program will continue, details are being
worked on now.
