Stories have the power to capture attention
as they tap into children’s curiosity.
Young minds wonder about what happens next.
It is as if they too, are part of the story.

Inversely, in a traditional math class,
students are restless and mostly concerned
if they are following the instructions correctly.
Are their answers correct?

Anxiety is triggered

over not remembering every step and fact,
driven by fear of making mistakes and failing.
It is as if math was an alien idea that came to Earth
and now humans had to learn something
perceived as difficult,
mechanical and disconnected.

Many children fear math.

By 4th grade, marred by rote, memorization, and tests

60% decide they are not into math.

As increasingly, professions in the modern world require math.

This mindset inhibits a lifetime of potential success.

In the interest of their success,

we should make math learning
accessible to all children.

MathXplorers intercultural math stories
have been tested

proven to engage,
elevate conceptual understanding

diminish anxiety, and
inspire and excite students to learn math.

What if math learning included a math story?

Our stories showcase how math concepts
and processes affect everyday life and work.

The setting of these math adventures is in a fictionalized
multicultural community
where people from many parts of the world live and work.

Once upon a time there was a town named
Whatever.

I would have loved to have a MathXplorers program at my school.

Not only is the product beautifully created, the quality of the

mathematical content itself makes MathXplorers such

a great addition to any K-2 program.
