This episode features Betsy Mays, former public school math teacher and creator of math games designed to make learning fun! Betsy talks about what to do if your child is really struggling with a math concept, using vertical number lines, and how you can incorporate learning math through playing games, sewing, and so many other hands-on activities.
Bio:
Betsy Mays is a wife,mother, math teacher,and game creator. She has a bachelors degree in elementary education and a masters in educational leadership. After spending 27 years in public education, she is now on a mission to give parents and teachers tools they can use, in the way of games, to make learning math fun and stress free.
A bit about the business:
Games by Absolute Zero was created out of a desire to turn kids on to math and make math practice fun and engaging. As a middle school math teacher, parents were always asking me “how can I help my child be successful in math, it was never my strong subject.” Playing games is one of the many things parents and teachers can do with kids to strengthen math skills.
