Every Person is a Math Person!

Help me give my students the confidence to enjoy math by playing to learn how to calculate with decimals, fractions, and more. Anyone can be a math person with only two things: be a person and do math!

My Project

Math is a word that can cause panic and anxiety in students and adults. However, when students are given the opportunity to practice through play, they become more comfortable and strive to be mighty mathematicians. A safe, fun environment is the perfect place to make mistakes, recalculate, and rework problems. These are skills that are not only valuable in a math class, but lessons our students can carry through life.

With encouragement and space to make mistakes, every student (and adult) can become a marvelous mathematician!

Math is not about who gets done first or who knows more. Math is about mistakes. It is about not giving up. It is about trying again. When students have the tools they need to stay engaged, entertained, supported and challenged in math class, they gain the tools they need to be successful in other subjects, but it also benefits our students in sports and future employment settings.
