From the web site:  Plus provides articles and podcasts on any aspect of mathematics, covering topics as diverse as art, medicine, cosmology and sport, a news section, showing how recent news stories were often based on some underlying piece of maths that never made it to the newspapers, reviews of popular maths books, and puzzles for you to sharpen your wits. We have a regular interview with someone in a maths-related career, showing the wide range of uses maths gets put to in the real world. And all past content remains available online, which besides making for good browsing is, we hope, a useful resource for maths school students and teachers.

bedtime mathBedtime Math

Bedtime Math’s mission is simple: to make nightly math as common and beloved as the bedtime story.  To do that, we need to spread the word to as many families as possible.  So many parents, upon hearing about Bedtime Math, have reacted with the exact same words: “It never occurred to me to do math at bedtime!”  Math should be a favorite activity kids seek out on purpose, like dessert.  And it’s especially critical in a country that struggles with math education!

If there are kids in your life, you can join the Bedtime Math movement to make math a natural, fun part of kids’ everyday lives.  Find out below how you can be a part of it.

Families: Enjoy Bedtime Math with your kids – sign up for Bedtime Math, get the Bedtime Math calendar, and more.  You might end up liking math more yourself, too!
