          Do the Math on TV is back for its sixth season, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 4-5 p.m. on Bright House Networks Ch. 15 and in Eastern Kern on Charter Cable Ch. 46 and 19, as well as MediaCom Ch. 3. Certificated math teachers will be taking calls and working problems over the phone with students from 3:30-5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

                        Students desiring a little extra help with their math homework can dial the Do the Math help lines, (661) 636-4357 and toll free (866) 636-6284, 3:30-5:30 p.m, to have problems solved over the phone. Some callers will have their problems worked live on TV between 4 and 5 p.m. Students can also review archives of past programs on the Internet by clicking on the Do the Math link at http://www.kern.org.

            Do the Math originates from the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office, where it was developed. All instruction and tutoring adheres to California Department of Education curriculum standards. The program also includes fun features and contests.   

            Major support for Do the Math comes from the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, Panama-Buena Vista Union School District, Chevron, Castle and Cook and Bakersfield City School District. Additional support is provided by Golden Empire McDonald’s Owners and Operators, Kern High School District and Russo’s Books.
