We all use math on a daily basis in countless ways and it is easy to take math skills for granted. It is difficult to realize the true nature of numbers and thinking of them in terms of relationships plays an integral role in understanding them. So while being able to add two numbers together is one thing, excelling at math by doing it efficiently and being prepared for higher math is another arena altogether. In response to the need for a strong foundation in math, MathRack was formed.
