Parent - Teacher Math
Through local community centers, volunteer pre-service teachers provide each parent with a comprehensive math education. These parents then learn how to teach their children math from pre- kindergarten and onward. Sustainability is achieved when the parent-student becomes the parent educator for their community center. Parents are empowered to advocate for their children’s education within the home and within their schools and promotes math within the entire community.

Juanita never had the opportunity to learn math. To make ends meet, she sells beauty products and has to rely on her supplier’s and customer’s honesty to give her the right change.
