“Due to my own deeper understanding of math, I am able to see my students’ ways of solving problems much better and therefore guide them to their own understanding. I find that by using MEC approaches, my students no longer come to me to see if they are wrong or right. They can determine that on their own, which is so important in mathematics.” - Middle School Mathematics Teacher
“Doing mathematics as a learner in MEC sessions has given me new insight into the power of mathematical as inquiry and investigations.” - District Administrator
“My work with MEC has created in me a love and fascination for mathematics. It has compelled me to confront my own struggles with math, leaving me in a far, far better position to understand deeply the mathematics I am supposed to be teaching; to understand my students’ attitudes about mathematics learning as well as that of their families; and to understand my students’ thinking about math.” - 1st Grade Teacher
“I started to use ideas from MEC’s summer course within the first two weeks of school to increase number sense. Later I used more MEC ideas to increase my students’ algebraic understanding.” - Middle School Mathematics Teacher
