Math Can Take You Places transports students into the heart of mathematics by combining real-world application with fast-paced classroom footage. Students see patterning, equivalency, reasonableness, measurement, and problem solving through the eyes of five different professionals. Produced, written, and directed by Peabody Award winner Rob Mikuriya (The Eddie Files), the programs emphasize algebra readiness skills at the upper elementary level in a fun and exciting way.
