Math Matters is a non-profit dedicated to empowering children with math. Research shows that children that do more mathematics do better at ALL subjects, including reading, writing, music, etc... and are more likely to achieve. We help parents and teachers have the tools necessary to enable their children to succeed.
We partnered with the 9 News & Westword Chile Festival to help get scholarships to one of Denver's most at risk communities.
