Some of us just have a mind for math, while others struggle.

If one student raises their hand for help, other students may feel that class is dragging on.

While it can frustrate any student, it's just as hard on teachers.

"As I started talking to the kids, they're like, 'I don't have anyone to help me. I need help. There's not enough tutoring and there's not enough time,'" teacher Jennifer Bailey said.

"After the first round, I saw kids who struggled before are making gains," said Bailey. "I'm having to come up with some creative ways because they're going so fast.
