Testimonials
At
one of the Palm Beach County year-end math games design contests,
Maria, a fourth grader who won first place with her game, said
she collaborated with her dad, who is a roofer. Maria wants to
be a teacher when she grows up.
A third grade
prize winner, Rodly Desronvil, a student from Haiti said, "Math
is my favorite subject now, because it can do a lot of things
for you, like making change and adding up your grocery bills."
Rodly's father is a minister, but Rodly wants to be a lawyer who
"can help poor people" when he grows up. Rodly says
his father helped him handle the wood for his game.
