Now Help is here.
It\'s no wonder that many parents have difficulty navigating this innovative mathematical and pedagogic terrain.
The curriculum isn\'t linear, but rather spirals back and forth, weaving concepts in and out of lessons that build overall understanding and long-term retention.
Learning is accomplished not through rote memorization, but by actually engaging in real-life math tasks.
Yet despite that tremendous success, EM often leaves parents perplexed.
Its research-based learning delivers the kinds of results that all School districts aspire to.
