Parents and guardians were forced to become ad-hoc teachers when schools shut down last March, and for many, their algebra and geometry chops were rusty.
They weren t able to aid their kids math pursuits at home – fractions, decimals, linear equations – in the same way they could reading. It wasn t only due to a lack of remembrance from their own schooling days, but an overall discomfort with math in general that existed pre-pandemic.

SPOKANE, Wash. – It’s been a year of instability for many people, including students. The pandemic has had an effect on students’ learning, making some fall behind in school.
In the last year, students have been learning virtually, going to hybrid, then some went to full-time, in-person learning.
Studies show that constant change and learning virtually has put some kids behind in school, reflecting in some test scores.
The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) compared math scores from fall of 2019 to 2020 with students in third through eighth grades. The studies showed students fell five to 10 percentile points lower in math.
