SYCAMORE – Math has always been an important component of every student’s education. Success in mathematics has been linked to success in college and future careers.

“The deluge of data that children encounter in their daily lives today, and which they will encounter even more throughout their adult lives, makes it even more important that they build strong math and statistics skills,” said  Richard Bavaria, senior vice president for education outreach for Sylvan Learning.

Parents can help bridge the gap between the fears of math and the vibrant and essential world of numbers for their children.
