What is IMaST?
Peary Middle School is an 'Integrating Mathematics and Science through Technology (IMaST)' This year, 7th and 8th grade science and mathematics classrooms at Peary MS are participating in an exciting Los Angeles Unified School District grant program that includes using wireless laptop computers, electronic presentation boards and tools, student response devices, and computer and Internet-based resources to promote increased student achievement. These classroom technologies have been placed at Peary MS as part of the LAUSD Integrating Mathematics and Science through Technology (IMaST) project - a program supported by a No Child Left Behind (NCLB) grant. The purpose of the program is to show the impact that increased classroom use of technology will have on student and staff proficiency with electronic learning tools and to increase student achievement in algebra. To help students succeed in their schoolwork, 7th and 8th grade students at Peary MS will have access to many exciting wireless computer, electronic, and Internet-based resources to reinforce learning in the classroom and at home. In addition, every student at Peary MS will be given an E-mail account for communication with each other and with experts in the field. With the introduction of this equipment into their classrooms, teachers will be exploring and implementing new ways to make school more exciting and meaningful for your child. We hope you will join us in our enthusiasm for this project and support our efforts to increase your child’s success in school.
