GOGEBIC / ONTONAGON COUNTIES - The Michigan Department of Education has awarded close to $25 million in grants to 16 education agencies for math teaching and learning. The grant comes from the State School Aid Act. The Gogebic-Ontonagon Intermediate School District received $10.4 million. The money will be used to hire early math specialists, who will work with kids in kindergarten through fifth grade to improve their math skills, including using a learning system called Number Corner, which help improve number sense. The State School Act initiative began because K-5th grade students were showing signs of struggling in math.
