			We All Use Math Every Day Program
			Teens are always asking the question about math, "When am I ever going to use this stuff? " To help answer this question, the hit CBS show "NUMB3BS" and Texas Instruments have partnered to create "We All Use Math Every Day," an exciting math program which provides free classroom activities created by teachers and mathematicians to help students explore the math concepts used to solve crimes in the show. This program provides free classroom activities online that help students explore the math derived from the concepts highlighted in each show. New activities are posted weekly. Improving math education and motivating teens to challenge themselves in math is an important issue that all parents face. The program has won numerous national awards in recognition of its innovation and impact on inspiring greater math achievement.
