Growing up, did you like math? Do you like math now? Do you have a child that you find making math fun with? Chances are if you are like most parents then you are not a fan of math and I can’t blame you there but there are ways to make math fun and engaging.

Have you ever attempted to find methods to make math fun to learn?

Math workshops instruct on how to make learning fun.

One group of teachers are making fun and engaging for students through a student workshop. At the workshop known as “Engage, Learn, and Connect Math Topics” there are over 20 area teachers that are making connections between learning math and applying it to real life. Check out this article to learn more about this summer workshop.

We want to help kids see how math and science can be meaningful. It is also important for them to explore all the career paths in the field that can be open to them by showing them the real world applications and the relevance of math

Key takeaways

  1. In the summer workshop known as “Engage, Learn, and Connect Math Topics”, teachers are showing students how they will use what they learn in life.
  2. The funds are being used for the 2017-2018 “Improving Teacher Quality Program” project to engage Duluth-area elementary and middle school mathematics teachers in high-quality learning and reflection to improve their teaching skills and capacity.
  3. The chance to collaborate with colleagues and to continue communication between grade levels and schools are also important elements of the workshop

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
