CyMath has been a great experience. The kids are fun and kind, and they work hard at the problems I give them and I appreciate their effort and questions. It is one of the highlights of my week to get to help them with math and to see the creative ways that they problem-solve. I feel like it has also been a fun challenge to learn how to explain concepts in different ways and adapt to them, solving problems in ways I might not have thought of ahead of time. –Abby Martin, Graduate Student, Mathematics

As a child, I was always encouraged by my mathematics teachers to understand ‘why something works’ when learning new concepts which I now realize is at the core of critical reasoning. In our CyMath sessions, I attempted to do the same and observed that the kids are in fact doing that implicitly. This, I believe, is a positive indicator of their educators. I hoped to have influenced their thinking at least slightly and made them more interested in math. –Praneeth Narayanamurthy, Graduate Student, Electrical and Computer Engineering
