Hear what past participants have to say about Math Path:

  • I felt comfortable asking questions, which was a big step to overcome for me. The fact that the class is so united helped me a lot.
  • I complained about the hour of the Success Skills class at first but after seeing how much I got done; now I believe that the students in the next Math Path should stay longer. That way they will be able to accomplish what I accomplished.
  • By selecting this program I have improved my mathematical skills at a level that I never knew I could have otherwise.
  • The teachers, volunteers, and tutors all support the students to reach their goals.
  • The camping trip defintely made me more comfortable with my classmates, which allowed me to ask questions when I had problems.
  • It was fabulous to have hands-on measurement instruments, talks and discussions, about the way math can relate to our daily life in different forms and disciplines such as Biology, Geology, and Astronomy.
