Math workshop held today

Students who are experiencing difficulties in math class are invited to attend the “Solve Your Math Problems” workshop Wednesday.

The workshop will begin at 5 p.m. in Ninth Street Hall, Room 2016.

Mark May, assistant director of the Learning Assistance Center, said this workshop will give students strategies to solve basic math problems and eventually help them become more confident math students.

“We will work with basic math problems, nothing too complicated,” May said. “We will also try to devise different strategies on ways to solve the problems effectively.”

Throughout the workshop different problems that tend to plague a student’s math abilities will be addressed, he said.

“Students often don’t keep up with their math homework, put in enough time and energy into their subject or understand basic math mechanics,” May said.

“(The Learning Assistance Center) encounter everything from weak mathematical backgrounds in students to more serious problems, like students with real disabilities.”

This workshop is part of the “30-Minute Student Workshop Series” put on by the Learning Assistance Center.

All of the workshops are designed to aid students with the academic aspects of the college experience.

The workshops are free of charge and open to all Eastern students.
