What People Are Saying About Everyday Mathematics
Everyday Mathematics is the program of choice for nearly 3 million students in more than 185,000 classrooms. Teachers rely on Everyday Mathematics because it works.

Martha Liddell, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Students, Columbus, Mississippi
"Everyday Math provides a rigorous curriculum aligned with our state standards. It's our goal to ensure our kids make progress fast, and now we witness that every day. The best part of the program is teacher preparation. When teachers plan better, students learn more. Everyday Mathematics takes the dread out of math instruction for everyone. These kids are excited about learning, and this program puts math into a context kids can understand. It's active and meaningful. It really truly is every day math."

Peggy Carlson, Curriculum Coordinator, Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, Alaska
"Everyday Mathematics stands out for developing thoughtful students who learn how to apply their mathematical understanding to real-world situations. This rigorous program builds a strong number sense in students through the development of computation, communication, and application skills. Using this program with fidelity will give our students the skills and confidence to excel in higher-level math courses."

Pamela Barr-Lenoir, Principal, West Point, Mississippi
"Everyday Mathematics isn't about traditional teaching. Our kids are learning math by playing games that help them discover there is always more than one way to solve a problem."

Robert M. Gay, Principal, Shaner Elementary School, Topeka, Kansas
"My daughter has struggled with math all of her school years. She is a Grade 5 student this year in another district. She gets so frustrated that she shuts down. This weekend I taught her the lattice method of multiplication from Everyday Mathematics. She was so excited about how easy it was, she could not wait to show her teacher."

Ann Boeckman, Parent, Bexley, Ohio
"My oldest son had Everyday Mathematics in Grade 6 and my younger daughter had it in Grades K-1. When the Home Connections assignments started coming home, I was pleasantly surprised that my kids were being asked to think about things in a different way. The Home Connections are clear, concise, and easy for me to understand. And, it got our family talking about topics that we normally wouldn't. It's important to set aside one-on-one time in the evening to do the Home Connections together. It's a wonderful way to understand what my kids are learning at school."

Ken Tucker, Principal, Florence Sawyer School, Bolton, Massachusettsspan
"Our teachers in Grades 6Ð8 tell me that students using the Everyday Mathematics program in earlier grades are arriving in their classrooms with a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and are ready to start the year at a much higher level."

Ida Lo, Parent, Bexley, Ohio
"Everyday Mathematics makes so much sense! I support its interactive, relevant approach to learning math. Math is more than numbers. You have to relate it to daily life and the real world. It doesn't come alive until children see those connections."

Maggie H., Wayland, Maryland
"Everyday Mathematics emphasizes the application of mathematics to real-world situations, the continual practice of basic skills, the use of manipulatives to help develop skills for problem solving and strong mathematical thinking, a communication component to promote a strong home-school partnership, and appropriate use of technology."

Chaunita P., Washington, D.C.
"My students really look forward to math time with Everyday Mathematics. They were excited about the tool kits and all of the hands-on experiences they shared. I became more excited to teach this program to my students because their response to the program was so successful. My students and I could not wait to do the math projects and the math messages. I find this program to be a great approach to cooperative learning, differentiated instruction, and the flexible abilities with multiple intelligences."

Judene, D. Casco, Maine
"I love Everyday Mathematics and feel it has raised our math scores and also improved thinking skills in our district."

Sheila H., Grain Valley, Missouri
"My students LOVE math! They see it as a time of discovery! They enjoy playing the Everyday Mathematics games. Thank you for a curriculum that strengthens mathematical concepts while holding high expectations of each child as a learner!"

Samantha B., Bronx, New York
"I have been using Everyday Mathematics for seven years. I believe in this program for many reasons, but primarily because I have had such success with my students using every element of Everyday Mathematics. I advocate Everyday Mathematics to my colleagues who need the room to remediate, games to secure goals, and opportunities for the higher students to be pushed using the long-term projects."
