Our Beginnings
The Mathematics Lab began life in early 2002 as a joint project between the Math Department Tutoring Program and the Math Enrichment through Technology Program (MEnTe). The Tutoring Program provided energetic and knowledgeable peer tutors for East Los Angeles College math students. The MEnTe Program provided a comprehensive learning facility with smart classrooms, a tutoring area, an open computer lab, and technical support staff.
Title V funding for the MEnTe Program ended in late 2004 and the two programs
were formally combined into the Mathematics Lab at that time. The innovative
spirit that was encouraged in the early days of the Mathematics Lab continues
to this day. New practices are being developed to help
ensure student success in math.
