"It was important to learn what and how my children are learning math."  - Parent, MEC Math Night

 

“My classroom practice is improving as I work with MEC. My students are truly engaged with math as I’ve learned to differentiate for all the learners in my classroom. The quality of their work, and their ability to handle work with levels of increasing complexity is unlike anything I have seen in my previous years of teaching.”  - 1st Grade Teacher

 

“As a result of MEC courses, math makes sense in a very motivating and exciting way. I feel cheated that I did not grow up thinking that all those equations and concepts just explained the real world.”  - 4th Grade Teacher

Believe Children Can Learn

According to the report Everybody Counts (1989), "Only in the United States do people believe that learning mathematics depends on special ability. In other countries, students, parents, and teachers all expect that most students can master mathematics if only they work hard enough. In other nations where more is expected, more mathematics is learned." (pg. 10, 82)
