For students to be successful in life, they need a strong understanding of math literacy. If we think of math as a language, then our work involves assisting students to be able to "read" math - to not only understand the thoughts, ideas, and information presented in the form of symbols, patterns, problems, graphs, tables, etc., but to also help students clearly explain the thinking processes and strategies they use to solve math problems. We are living in a world that is filled with math challenges - whether we are at work, travelling, cooking or living in our home. The ability to reason, problem solve, visualize, estimate, self-monitor or cross-check are important skills for success.
