Here are some quotes from some of our volunteers and parent-volunteers:  Have you observed that your students or children have made academic progress?“When my son arrives from school, he asks me to play math games with him. I also help him when he needs assistance with his homework”. “The children now ask me for more help. With this workshop, I have discovered the importance of helping them”. What was the most helpful thing you learned in the training class? “I learned how mathematics can be taught in a way that is simple and fun so our children will not find it dull or too difficult to understand”. “That every child is different and it takes different techniques to reach a child”. |
