Parent & student success stories

  • Even with its challenges, math is everywhere in our daily lives

    We use it when cooking, budgeting for shopping, managing money, planning finances, improving our homes, and scheduling our time. Math also connects to health in important ways, like calculating medication dosages, conducting medical research, and tracking nutrition and fitness.

    Student:Kaliyah Hicks

  • I enjoy solving problems and figuring out how numbers connect

    I have dyslexia and dysgraphia, which means I sometimes struggle with reading instructions correctly and writing out my work clearly. Even when I understand a math concept in my mind, putting my answers on paper can feel overwhelming.

    Student:Kaliyah Hicks

  • After soccer, I really enjoy math — it helps me see how things work in real life

    For example, I use addition and subtraction to count my change at the store, and when I cook dinner with my mom, I help measure ingredients using fractions, addition, and multiplication.
