MathMastery s MathNSports Club, a math achievement club for 4th-8th graders which features professional basketball player Elton Brand, is a hit. The key to being successful in math is understanding how useful it is, says Brand. Combining sports statistics and basic math skills can add to students enjoyment and learning, help build confidence and strengthen their math skills. Students who join the MathNSports Club receive a free certificate of enrollment featuring Brand s picture. Then, as students progress through their courses, Brand appears on their Progress Reports.
Kids also can receive a series of Brand s posters when all courses are completed.
