DENVER – Senator Bernie Sanders, a democratic candidate for the 2020 presidential election, reeled in over 11 thousand people at the Colorado Convention Center with his fiery and enthusiastic speech on Sunday, February 16. 

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of eager students and faculty gathered to hear from Julie Sarama, an expert in early childhood education and mathematics, in regards to her research on the importance of math to children’s learning development. 

Math has never been a strength within the U.S. but it is vital to building knowledge throughout one’s life. According to Sarama, the number and arithmetic knowledge at age seven predicts socioeconomic status at age 42. Preschool math predicts math at grade 15. Yet, ranking below average internationally has become a trend that many educators are unhappy to see become the norm.
