“Simply put”

.
While I would argue that my time as a retiree is “valuable”, it is worth SOMETHING.

I will gladly give my time, and my money (for gas, incidental supplies, etc.), to help kids with math and science.

I will NOT give my time or money to babysit or to entertain kids in school.

(I’m currently working with 5th graders.)

Applied Mathematics

Math and science are more than just subjects in school.
Math and science are a VERY important part of EVERYONE'S world.
The more that you know about math and science, the more successful you will be.

I am a retired civil engineer.

Advanced mathematics and science

Civil engineers use advanced mathematics and science in designing roads, bridges, buildings, pipelines, etc.

Calculating to the 2/3 power is more advanced than what you need to know now. But, if you want to be an engineer, you'll need to learn this, and even MORE advanced mathematics--calculus, differential equations, analytical geometry, etc.

All in due time. Today it's important to learn mathematics and science at your grade level. The rest will come, if you want it to.
