Founder's Personal Statement:

I am Making Math Count!

Founder and Services Director Personal Statement:
I, Yolanda Taylor, established Making Math Count in November 2010 in Arkadelphia, Arkansas; Making Math Count is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization recognized by the IRS. I am determined to see Making Math Count’s Vision become a reality. For the last thirty years of my life, I have been working with youth in various capacities and settings. I am confident that once a young person master skills in both basic math and critical thinking, s/he will be better equipped to make wise, sound choices; s/he will also have the ability to confront life-skills situations and to positively contribute to society. By receiving services that Making Math Count offers, a student has the opportunity to master his/her basic math and critical thinking skills. Making Math Count provides opportunities such as one-on-one to small group tutoring, quiz bowls with stock certificate prizes, field-trips, STEM Career Days, etc. I thank you in advance for granting Making Math Count with your gift in the form of your time, talent, and or treasure, to ensure that Making Math Count can carry out its mission and see its vision manifest. By contributing and or participating in some form or fashion, you are tremendously and ultimately assisting marginalized, underprivileged, socio-economically disadvantaged children to have an opportunity to truly make math count---to be confident, to make wise choices, and to live "The Complete Life" --- the one on which Dr. MLK gave a sermon!
Students who are marginalized, underprivileged, and socio-economically disadvantaged deserve BETTER. “Better” is in the sense of being afforded a chance to master basic math skills as a very young child, being academically prepared to have more rewarding career preparation and options, and being fortunate enough to learn about investing in the financial markets beginning at childhood. Only then can these children actually be on the path to live "The Complete Life" and to be productive for their own well-being as well as that of their country - the USA.
Again, I thank you for your assistance; you may assist in one or more ways: Volunteer at an event. Fundraise. Tutor. Financially donate. Support a fundraiser. Become a school-based site. You may contact me directly via email: educationallyyoursdetroit@gmail.com Making math count,Yolanda M. Taylor

90% of parents believe their child is currently at grade level in reading and math mostly due the REPORT CARD GRADE; however, the actual proficiency rate for some cities is only 30-50%.

The #1 one way for parents to know how their child is achieving is to ask the teacher.

  • We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
