The AfterSchool KidzMath™ program is currently being implemented in more than 700 sites, serving over 20,000 children. Here’s what people are saying about it:
It has the right balance of fun and learning.
“The involvement of children during the development of the AfterSchool KidzMath™ materials has resulted in the right balance of fun and learning for our programs.”
—Carter Savage, Vice President
Youth Development Services, Boys and Girls Clubs of America
We’re reinforcing skills in the right way.
“AfterSchool KidzMath™ has helped us strengthen our curriculum in the after-school program and enhance our credibility with school districts. We are reinforcing children’s math skills in a way that is fun and tailored specifically to the after-school program. With the games and literacy component, it’s a great way to teach the whole child and reinforce our core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.”
—Lisa Muntz, Senior Vice President
Children & Family Services, YMCA of Greater Kansas City
With the right experience, the children get the math.
“What is wonderful about AfterSchool KidzMath™ is that it proves that if we create an experience that is fun and involves a complex [set] of skills, the children get the math.”
—Kyle Ahrold, Director
PS 87 Afterschool Program, New York City
The games context helps their math comprehension.
“We love AfterSchool KidzMath™ because the kids are now comprehending more about what they’re learning in school. They might not get a concept when a teacher is standing at the board, but when we see how it fits into a game, and they’re working in small groups, they get it.”
—Hazel Lewis, Program Director of Childcare
Linwood YMCA, MO
Our fourth-graders learned a lot with Multiplication Basketball.
“When our fourth-graders were having trouble with multiplication, we tried Multiplication Basketball. They were really into the physical aspect of it, and they learned a lot. The different ways we can show them how to do math, the more they do, and the more they learn.”
—Brandon Lee, Afterschool Teacher
Stonestown YMCA, San Francisco
