I've spent the last nineteen years designing and building effective and award winning educational and job training programs at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation (www.alexandriaseaport.org) Now, I am taking part of that work, the hands on math instruction, and introducing it to a nation of students in need of both an alternative to standard classroom instruction. They also need to know why math is useful.
I build things, sometimes boats, sometimes buildings, but always people. That's why this project is called Building to Teach - because that's what were doing. It's effective. It's how human beings learned math before there were textbooks. We need to get back to it.
