Diving Deeply Into Math

Deeper math understanding for students begins with deeper math understanding

in teachers. This springs from our own enthusiasm and professional

“When mathematics is properly taught, the students don't just learn rules. They learn analytical skills that they can use throughout their adult lives.”
