Math support where you need it, when you need it!
Math support where you need it, when you need it!
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.

PROBLEM OF THE WEEK
PROBLEM OF THE WEEK
A palindrome is something that is the same forward as backwards -- like mom, dad, race car, I prefer pi, et cetera. Numbers can also be palindromes -- like 141, 88, 1221, et cetera. Now, consider the number 75, 75 is not a palindrome. So, reverse it and add it to itself: 75+57=132. 132 is also not a palindrome, so do it again: 132+231=363. 363 is a palindrome. So, we stop, and we say that 75 is a depth-2 palindrome (because I had to do the process twice to get to a palindrome). Find the palindrome depth of all two-digit numbers.
