1.Math helps us keep score – not just in sports, but in everything we measure: time, distance, money, cooking quantities, etc.

2. Math helps us make better choices: Is the economy size of toothpaste really worth it? How much highway driving makes a hybrid car a better value?

3. Math Enrichment and Tutoring for all levels.

4. The development of computers was initiated by mathematicians and logicians, who continue to make important contributions to the theory of computer science.

5. Mathematics develops positive values like perseverance, resilience, persistence, and patience.

6. Math is like a gym for your brain; the process of learning to solve mathematical problems boosts your brainpower!

7. Doing a math problem helps practice the problem-solving steps that apply to everyday situations: define the problem, think of ways to solve it, implement a solution, and evaluate the results.

8. Math helps us to identify patterns and relationships. Two things that may at first glance appear very different, may turn out to be mathematically very similar.

9. Math can be fun. Just as we play games, do crossword puzzles, and read mysteries for fun, math shares characteristics with all of these.
