SETTING THE STAGE WITH GEOMETRY

The Geometrics Stage Crew uses Geometry to help the popular band, The Geometrics, get ready for their concerts.

Welcome to Setting the Stage with Geometry, a new math program aligned with NCTM standards that is designed to help students in grades 6–8 build and reinforce basic geometry skills for measuring 2D and 3D shapes. Developed by The Actuarial Foundation with Scholastic, this program seeks to provide skill-building math activities to help your students become successful in the classroom and in real-world situations outside of school.

We hope you enjoy this new program!

TEACHERS: Contact the Foundation at asa@actfnd.org to have an actuary present the Geometry program to your classroom.
