Math education is getting better, says award-winning teacher

Math education is getting better, says award-winning teacher: News, weather, traffic, events and photos from the City Desk at The Seattle Times.

"I love math. I’m good at math. I grew up in a family in which we played with math a lot. My dad and I used to play cribbage, play mastermind, do jigsaw puzzles. The kids in our family grew up playing with math ideas and patterns and relationships, and I think that led all of us to be fairly good with math."
