A Whole School Turns Math into Magic

Here's a very inspiring video from the George Lucas Education Foundation, www.glef.org showing how Fullerton IV Elementary School in Oregon made math the highlight of their program.

Their test scores soared, but more importantly, math became the favored subject of nearly all the students.
