Academy and the Boston Celtics program. SCORE is an online, basketball-themed math resource for local schools developed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) learning architects in collaboration with the Boston Celtics.
Olynyk, “Lucky” and Hamilton first met with the school’s Math League students and then discussed the importance of math and summer learning at a school-wide assembly. The students were also treated to a “Lucky” dunk show to conclude the event.
"Partnering with the Celtics to develop basketball-themed Go Math! Academy videos was a natural next step in our collaboration to extend access to fun, engaging learning resources for kids," said Andrew Russell, Director, Corporate Social Responsibility, HMH. "We had a great time bringing math to life with the students today."
HMH also donated nearly $10,000 in math manipulatives to Collicot, providing students with the tools to continue to learn and practice math concepts in a hands-on and engaging way.
“It was great speaking to the students today about the importance of math and how they can use it in everyday situations,” said Celtics forward Olynyk. “I hope they had a fun time participating in the competition and will continue working hard.”
SCORE with Go Math! Academy, an online math resource for New England schools featuring basketball-themed video content, launched in May 2015. The special series of math problems illustrates key math concepts using real world examples from the basketball court.
