Welcome to the Prosperity Math Around Town Wiki
Prosperity is located in Hutchinson, Kansas; however, it is a part of the Buhler School District. In 2010, Prosperity sixth grade received a Technology Rich Classroom grant from the State of Kansas. The focus of our grant was Math. Our goal was to integrate technology into the math curriculum in order to improve student achievement. Throughout our two year adventure, students created claymation videos, podcasts, keynotes, and digital stories all related to math. In addition, classes Skyped with experts, took a trip to local businesses, and started their own Save At School Credit Union Branch. This wiki is our attempt to share our second year adventure with others; it is our hope that others can duplicate our experience.

Our essential question for the year follows: Why is math important?
