Zeno (zenomath.org) is an organization we’ve admired and collaborated with for a long time. They’re based in Seattle, like us. We’ve been to their math festivals, accompanied them on classroom visits, and tracked their pivot to supporting pre-K. They focus on mathematics in communities of color; here’s how they describe their mission:
“Zeno exists to ensure that kids of color have access to a strong math foundation – and all of the education and career opportunities that come along with it.”
In addition to being a great organization doing vital work (that you can support here!), they’ve also been making some delightful math games for 3 – 5 year-olds. We ended up with one (Good Morning Farm) a few years back, and took note as our oldest got wrapped up with the animal figurines, and all the ways of counting them in and out of the barns and pastures.
Long story short, when Zeno asked us if we’d help them manufacture some of their games, we said yes. But we also wanted to make some extras to find out if other folks would want them too!
So… here’s your chance to snap some up. We have a limited supply, so if you are a parent, guardian, uncle, aunt, grandparent, preschool teacher, educator who supports pre-K, or anyone with 3 – 5 year-old kids in their life that might benefit from a playful introduction to a wide array of mathematical ideas, this is your chance.
