Elevate My Math

Thank you partners for supporting us through these 7 amazing years!

VRETTA AT THE 42ND American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) ANNUAL CONFERENCE

This year, Vretta's Harsha C Varlani and Michael Danis will be showcasing the impact that Elevate My Math has had over the past 12 months in raising the level of numeracy and preparing students to be ready for their post-secondary education. The presentation is taking place at the AMATYC conference on Thursday, Nov 17th, at the Plaza Court, Room 2. We look forward to seeing there!

You can also find us at our booth #218 to discuss ways in which Elevate My Math can be implemented at your college/university to reduce the numeracy gap and provide students with the necessary pre-requisite skills that will help them succeed in their math courses.
