Our Story

Over 20 years ago Rudy Neufeld began developing software with a philosophy that the understanding of mathematics is possible for all students. Developing mathematics concepts from the concrete to the pictorial to the abstract along with multiple representations makes mathematics accessible to everyone. His 30 years of experience as a mathematics teacher, department head and consultant helped him cultivate his vision of how software could be used to empower teachers and deepen the understanding of mathematics for students of all ability levels.

His dedication to affect positive change in the instruction of mathematics has become our mission and is the foundation of everything we develop at Neufeld Learning Systems, Inc. The Understanding Math Series of programs and our Professional Development framework are the results of our commitment to his passion for making a difference in mathematics education. Today his vision is being realized in classrooms throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. Understanding brings success!
