Summary
The Mary P. Dolciani Award is an award established in 2012 by the Mathematical Association of America.[1] The award recognizes a pure or applied mathematician with a record of distinguished contributions to K-16 mathematics education in the United States or Canada and comes with a $5,000 award.[1] Examples of significant contributions include, but are not limited to, the development of K-16 mathematics curriculum, educational technology, or programs to improve teaching or teacher preparation.[2] The prize is funded by a grant established by mathematician, educator, and author Mary P. Dolciani, who dedicated her career to improving mathematics education and is the author of several secondary- and college-level mathematics textbooks.[citation needed]
