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 and Xcel Education     Services 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.
