Welcome to the Sound Decisions home page. We are a small consulting firm located in Tacoma, Washington and are dedicated to improving math and science education for all students. We offer a variety of workshops, teaming options to strengthen teaching skills, or consulting on improving curricula to help you meet your goals.

In Washington state the current focus is on meeting EALR standards and getting students ready for the WASL (EALR - Essential Academic Learning and WASL - Washington Assessment of Student Learning). We can assist you with software selection and instructional use, graphing calculator uses, and work with you on other technology related questions. We enjoy providing summer enrichment classes in mathematics to students of all ages.

A couple of things about this website: the Books page contains an annotated list of mostly fiction books that have math as an integral part of the story line. They appeal to kids because of the story line, the illustrations, or for the activities that go with the story. Grade levels range from pre-school up through high school. You can direct order a book through a link to amazon.gif (1557 bytes) should it strike your fancy. The Math and Science pages located under related sites are annotated lists of internet sites that are valuable for locating resources both on and off the web. The amount of material available for any grade level is amazing. Finally, if you have recommendations or suggestions please let us know. We will be updating our site on a regular basis.

You know your goals and Sound Decisions can help you meet them.
