Build your preschooler's math skills through joyful play!

Did you know that preschool math skills are the #1 indicator of future academic success?

For school readiness, preschoolers have to build a conceptual understanding of math—but studies show that preschoolers spend less than two minutes a day learning math. 

The Playbook shows you exactly how to build your child’s confidence in school and lay the foundation for their entire math education.

Meet sisters Maddie and Rachel.

Growing up, Maddie was “good at math.” Rachel was…not.

After Rachel's first child was born, she turned to Maddie for help. She wanted her children to be confident math learners and to break the cycle of math anxiety in her own family.

Maddie was seeing the impact of joyful, play-based math learning in research settings, but she realized this life-changing approach wasn’t reaching preschool teachers or parents.

Together, they started Grow Into Math to bridge the gap between math research and families, translating academic knowledge into fun, engaging games to give children everything they need for kindergarten math readiness.

Maddie and Rachel are dedicated to ending the idea of children who are “bad at math,” and helping to create a new generation of intuitive, joyful math learners.

“She’s having so much fun with her dice and cookies, and just counting everything in general. It really is thanks to you and showing us how easy it is to incorporate math into our daily lives!”

- Andrea

“It’s all amazing! It’s going to help so many kids (and parents!) get over that “bad at math” stigma.”

- Amy

“The Early Math Playbook has changed my child’s relationship with math. Our family’s “math mindset” shift is already apparent in the way my kids play, and I love watching their skills and confidence grow.”

- Rachel

Break the Cycle of Math Anxiety

Are you a “math person”?

Spoiler alert—everyone is! Even if you have math anxiety or still haven’t recovered from doing times tables in elementary school, you can break the cycle and give your child the gift of being a confident math learner.

Studies show that 93% of adults in the United States identify as having math anxiety! Parents and even preschool teachers can pass on their math anxiety to kids by speaking negatively about math or avoiding it all together. But you can break the cycle! The Playbook gives you the tools to heal your relationship with math together.

Let's Play!

Each module includes an easy assessment game to help you understand exactly where your child is in learning each early math skill, along with ways to challenge them at their level.

You’ll also get access to new and seasonal content, and one-on-one support with Dr. Maddie. Your access to the Playbook lasts forever! It grows with your child from toddlerhood to kindergarten, helping you understand their needs as they grow.
