Mathematics is about being curious, taking risks, and being willing to explore new strategies as you search for solutions.

They’re always reaching to get those 20 stars and after the first day, every student (all 77 of them)remembered to write their name and date on their paper! It even helps introduce concepts we’ll learn later in the year. Couldn’t ask for a better, more thorough product!  “
