The Newton's Window
MathBags
Help kids stretch into Math.
Give them a gift that doesn't need batteries.
Just a brain.
Our Math Bags are designed to build skills while getting real kids into real math. 

The Newton's Window Math Bags are filled with activities that encourage old-fashioned, imaginative, adventurous fun, and gives kids dozens of opportunities to develop the most essential component of math success: thinking.

Children need to think. Slow, and steady, on their own, in their own way. To dig, and struggle, and figure things out. Just as a child needs to play a sport to learn a sport, children need to play with math, to learn math.

But they seldom do. School curriculums are packed full, and increasingly geared to testing, with little time for students to explore, connect, and deepen the learning. At home, kids spend lots of time with technology, but this kind of learning doesn’t happen at a computer screen.

So we created a bag-ful of things for kids to develop the most important and neglected components of success. Watching real kids struggle to learn math, seeing what they love, what they hate, and what they need, we designed it to be used by real kids, and adapted by real families.

Old-fashioned adventure? Espionage? Treasure Hunts? High Finance? Nature? Table-turning? Travel to Foreign Lands? History come alive? ...MATH?!

Student_Needs_Help.jpg (9480 bytes)    The Problem:

Fact #1:
Kids don’t always love math.
Fact #2:
Learning math is hard.
Fact #3:
Parents want to help but don’t know how.
Fact #4:
Our kids try to learn it, but don’t know how.
Fact #5:
Technology doesn’t teach or develop sustained thinking.

The Solution:

by Suzanne Sutton

Fact: The more experiences kids have to think, the stronger their thinking skills. The stronger their thinking skills, the stronger and happier their lives. Students_-_Cartoon.jpg (11102 bytes)
