“Many American education experts are concerned about students’ performance in the subject of mathematics.
Scores on standardized tests are falling, students are having trouble learning high-level math in college and some teachers do not feel prepared to teach math to young people.
Laura Jackson’s daughter was nine years old when she discovered that she was having a learning problem that her school was not prepared to deal with.
Jackson said she started to worry about her daughter when she was having problems with math in third grade. She said other students had no trouble doing multiplication problems, but her daughter still used her fingers to count.”
