Math-U-See Student Wins Google SketchUp Contest

October 13, 2009

We recently received this email from proud parent and wanted to share it with you.

Dear Steve, one of your students – Matthew Notaro – won the 2009 Google SketchUp Kid’s Digital Design Contest and was honored by the Howe brothers – Popular Science’s 2009 Inventors/Invention of the year.

Your Math program was a direct result to his success.

In 7th grade he got so bogged down by Saxon Math’s overkill review and drill he spent over 2 hours a day per lesson and slid farther and farther behind. We finally listened to some friends and ordered your intro DVD. Math U See’s program fit our family perfectly. We happily “re-taught” Fractions and PreAlgebra.

Because your program teaches math skills in a logical, natural progression without the fluff and overkill drill – he finished Algebra Honors in one semester freeing up valuable time. With that time he toured Howe and Howe Technologies, interviewed with the Howe brothers, spent 160 hours using a CAD program – building the skills needed to win the Google SketchUp competition.

Math U See is directly assisting Matthew in pursuing his dream of becoming a mechanical engineer. God is using Math U See as a ministry for His Kingdom purposes. Thank you for being here.
