Remove the Fear, Reveal the Magic

Getting Kids to Fall in Love with Math

A Workshop for Math Educators

This workshop reveals a fun, visual approach that allows every learner to truly grasp, understand, and enjoy the core of arithmetic and the foundations of algebra.

Our proven experiential tool for teaching math ensures you will never again hear “math is not for me.”

Remove fear, inspire confidence, and break down mathematical silos so that all students can see the magic, connect the dots, and fall in love with math.

Recommended for math teachers of grades 5-8.

Priority will be given to educators working at Title 1 schools or serving a high proportion of students from minoritized groups or who are experiencing poverty.
