Do the Math is a phone-tutoring and television program funded by the Kern County Superintendent of Schools Office, Panama-Buena Vista Union School District, Bakersfield City School District, and local business with additional support from the Kern Union High School District. Do the Math offers mathematics instruction and tutoring aligned to the state-adopted mathematics content standards. The program is live on television 4–5 p.m. Phone help lines allow student callers to have mathematics problems solved live on television or privately over the telephone by certificated mathematics instructors. Students watching at home or in after-school programs have the opportunity to see how certificated mathematics instructors solve problems called in by viewers. Students can dial in to the Do the Math help lines from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tutors are available at the same time every Tuesday and Wednesday to help students solve their mathematics problems over the telephone in English or Spanish. Students can also view the program live or review archives of past programs on the Internet.
