The winner of this year’s Edwardson SNVC, together.science, uses digital tools to help students learn math in a simple, intuitive way.
Math is a struggle for too many students in high school and junior high. And some of the most effective solutions, such as individualized tutoring, are expensive and difficult to scale.
