RESPECT the Sieve
Eratosthenes was on a quest to identify prime numbers. Realizing his task was too challenging, he devised a new idea. Finding primes is hard, finding not-primes, well, that's much easier!
​
Just like cooking dinner, he dumped every number in a strainer, allowing the not-primes enough room to fall through the slits and leaving only the primes behind.
​
Our RESPECT the Sieve collection is full of number fun as you navigate primes, multiples, and discover new patterns in this colorful, wearable reference. Celebrate creative thinking and show off your love of numbers with MathBait®!
The Little Fish That Could
It's just a fish . . . right? Wrong! Dino (DEE-no) as she is lovingly named, is so much more. Inspired by Finding Nemo and Dory's commitment to "Just Keep Swimming" when life gets you down, she represents MathBait®'s mission: keep trying even in the face of the most challenging of problems. ​
Exponentially Amazing
What is the most amazing thing about math? Perspective. Numbers are excellent at hiding, camouflaging, and taking on new and interesting forms. Something as simple as 1, can appear in the most complex of ways, hidden behind lines of interesting symbols, operators, and friends.
​
In Exponentially Amazing, we celebrate General Three's Dance; a barrage of military formations showing only a handful of the ways twenty-four sixes can arrange themselves.
The Proud Primes
The building blocks of Natural, prime numbers are the DNA of the number system. With them, we can build anything and everything. But wait, there's more! Understanding prime numbers has incredible uses in cryptography and encryption, and various areas of Number Theory.
​
If you have a prime-lover in the family, this is just the gift they never knew they wanted.
My Trig Test Day
At MathBait® we never believe in memorizing formulas. As a cheeky stand against standardized learning we created your test day t-shirt. Everything you need to master trigonometry (without understanding any of it).
​
Even better? The entire shirt is printed upside-down so you have the perfect view ;).
Angle Personalities
Connecting math to the human experience is what we do. If numbers are like people, maybe angles are too?
​
Angle Personalities is a light-hearted play on what each type of angle (acute, obtuse, right, and straight) might be like as a human.
Don't see your favorite design? We are hard at work updating Transformations, Quadratics, Falling Primes, and PEMDAS products as well as adding some awesome Kryptografima favorites back into the mix!
Also on the way: New Digital Downloads to add some classic MathBait® fun into your classroom.
