with YOUR Raven Math Technologist, Steve Duby
Do your students struggle with topics in math? Are you challenged as a parent when it comes to math instruction? Does math as a topic cause undue stress, anxiety, or bring up past trauma? If any of those things are true for you, you've come to the right place! Raven is committed to assisting those families in need of this critical intervention for the benefit of student learning, parent instruction, and the overall enjoyment of math. As your guide, my aim is to provide support for K-12 mathematics topics through services such as in-person or remote tutoring, workshop-style events, and family consultations.

Consider the following dot pattern. There are 25 dots. Find multiple ways to show that there are 25 dots by circling pieces of it and writing the appropriate number sentence.
