Best Youth Fiction and Children's Educational

In two decades of pediatric practice, I've never before encountered an educational program that perfectly synthesizes cognitive science, pedagogical rigor, and pure joyful engagement. My children now precieve mathematics not as a standalone subject but as the operating system underlying everything in their world. The paradigm shift about math is priceless in this house.

The Power of Storytelling

MathBait® novels are the first of their kind, leveraging cognitive science to transform how students perceive and interact with mathematics.

Learning through Stories

Improves brain chemistry 

Increasing oxytocin and decreasing cortisol lowers math anxiety and stress and turns learning into an enjoyable experience. 

Removes barriers

Presenting new ideas with ordinary language and relatable analogies lowers the entry level to improve equity in learning.  

Makes the abstract concrete 

Elements of creative writing present complex topics in more natural and intuitive ways allowing our brain to synthesize new information easily.

Supports understanding

Information is stored and retrieved more effectively when it is connected to existing understanding rather than rote memorization. Stories highlight mathematics as a humanity, helping learners to truly grasp difficult concepts.

Fosters growth

Stories support metacognition, curiosity, and meaningful understanding, all catalysts for rapid improvement.

What makes MathBait different?

Unlike other programs, MathBait® applies learning science to prepare students for a lifetime of success. We don't use gimmicks to make learning "look fun," but introduce to students to the amazing world of numbers from a new perspective by leveraging natural curiosity. 

​​

Our stories, games, and activities show students how much math influences the world around us, and build confidence as students learn numbers are theirs to control. We never focus on memorization, and instead build a deep understanding to make meaningful connections. 

​

We live in a technological world. The majority of programs still focus on today's (if not yesterday's) skills. With MathBait®, students gain the skills they need to become the problem-solvers and leaders of tomorrow.
