I am a fan! I used the materials with my twins. Because of the confusing textbook presentation, they were having trouble with addition and subtraction. Using the Making Math Real materials and concepts, I’ve helped them become fluent in both, and plan on teaching the 2nd grade curriculum to them over the summer. |

What I think is truly unique and invaluable about the program is that they build symbol-imaging, detail analysis and sequential processing into each of the lessons and levels. These essential skills allow the students to be successful in math but, are applicable to learning across all subjects.

Being exposed to Making Math Real has dramatically changed how I see math instruction. I have learned a great deal this summer and I feel fortunate to have had such a paradigmatic shift around approaching my teaching, especially as a special educator. |

Making Math Real provides the missing link in math instruction for students who struggle with the transition from concrete to abstract. The understanding and care that has gone in to breaking down each task into its component parts and building success at each level is inspiring and a huge contribution to teaching in general and teaching students with learning challenges especially. |

A program alone cannot become an effective method for a student if the teacher does not understand both the program and the concepts to be taught. A multisensory structured program helps educators become more effective teachers because it breaks down the concepts to be taught in small incremental steps. |

If I were president I would have all math books burned; but if math was like Making Math Real math, I probably wouldn’t mind it. |

As a teacher I was drawn to Making Math Real because it addresses the issue that students become successful learners in many different ways. Educators have been struggling with how to successfully teach math for many years, but there is definitely not one way that works for all students. |

I am so impressed and grateful for your wonderful work! It stands out as a special beacon of hope
especially for those who would have been served by the UC Berkeley Extension Learning Center. |

Over the past two years, David Berg has helped our school’s teachers and students develop a passion for mathematics. It has gone from a feared subject to one of the most creative and exciting at the school. |

I went through your program when you were tutoring out of the second floor of someone's home near Berkley California in 2004-05. I was in 8th grade at the time. Karen was my tutor. |

I started coming to the classes from Arizona three or four years ago when I was home schooling my dyslexic son because our local school district does not even acknowledge dyslexia, ("it doesn't exist") let alone attempt to accommodate it in any way. I had Michael and Evan for most of my classes that Fall, and took my son all of the way back through all of the 4 Operations curriculum. Very simply, it changed his life. |

Making Math Real has literally changed my life and forever altered my feelings towards mathematics. It began quietly four years ago when I first met David Berg and learned of Making Math Real. Then I was a 38 year old mother of three young boys, who was schooling my oldest from home and finding a different set of problems than I’d anticipated. |

Teaching sixth grade math has changed dramatically over the past several years and it has been quite a challenge for teachers to keep up with the demands brought on by standards based education. I knew in my heart there had to be a better way to teach math and then I heard about Making Math Real. I attended the Overview class and finally I felt that this is what I had been trying to do all along with math . . .

Three years ago I wrote a letter explaining how Making Math Real had changed my oldest son’s life dramatically and consequently the rest of our lives as well. Now, three years later, MMR continues to dramatically impact our lives, so I thought I should write an update. |
