Mixing in Math is our interdisciplinary approach to math for children and those who spend time with them. We create materials for families, caregivers, after-school providers, librarians, and teachers to mix math into everything they do with children—from reading books to playing games to building towers to catching up on chores.

Mixing in Math lays out such a variety of activities—short and long, complex or requiring no materials at all—that teen or adult program leaders can’t help but be inspired. Beside addressing state frameworks, these activities draw creative extensions out of day-to-day places where math did not seem to exist before.
