Mathematics Achievement Program at UCLA

MAP is a free math enrichment program geared toward high-achieving, underrepresented, economically disadvantaged students who are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. Complimentary transportation and food will be provided if you are admitted to the program.

The goal of MAP is to:

● Enhance grade-level math skills and increase confidence in math performance

● Improve math knowledge that will impact overall performance in other college-ready subjects

● Create hands-on projects through math modeling that connect to real-world applications, improving critical- thinking and problem-solving skills

● Achieve early STEM awareness and identify potential careers in engineering and computer science

● Keep parents engaged with regular communications, including information on scholarship and financial aid

MAP will admit 50 current eighth grade students to participate in the second cohort of the Mathematics Achievement Program beginning Fall 2023.2023 Mathematics Achievement Program Information

MAP Cycle 2 Application Dates: Dec. 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023

Mathematics instruction to address knowledge gaps and build core competency
Enrichment activities to reinforce concepts and connect theory with application designed to ignite
career interest in engineering and computing, and promote personal and professional
development. Activities will include hands-on workshops, group projects using 3D printers and
other tools, tours of UCLA engineering research labs; guest speakers and panels to engage with
students, faculty, and alumni.

Program Goals

Students will be recruited for the program in the 8th grade. Students accepted into the program will
have the opportunity to continue in the program until graduation from high school.
Online Information Session Dates
The Mathematics Achievement Program will be hosting online information sessions to answer any
questions you might have and to give a general overview of the program on the following days:
Math Classes
9th grade – Geometry (will consider students currently enrolled in Algebra I)
10th grade – Algebra II
11th grade – Pre-Calculus
12th grade – Calculus & college application preparation
