NebraskaMATH was a $9.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation that supported a partnership among the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln Public Schools, Grand Island Public Schools, Papillion-La Vista Public Schools, Omaha Public Schools, and all 14 Nebraska rural Educational Service Units. The partnership worked to educate and support students and teachers at critical junctures with an overall goal of improving achievement in mathematics for all students and narrowing achievement gaps of at-risk populations.

The grant funded three new programs, (1) Primarily Math, an initiative for K-3 teachers, (2) Nebraska Algebra, an initiative for Algebra I teachers, and (3) New Teacher Network, an initiative for new secondary teachers of mathematics. In addition, NebraskaMATH offered a Summer Institute supported by local funds to continue the program created by Math in the Middle.
