Revolutionizing Math Education Through the Power of Movement
Your Lot and Parcel
One sunny afternoon in Upstate New York, Suzy and her daughter were outside practicing skip counting. Progress was slow—until her daughter hopped onto the trampoline and began skipping counting with every jump. After hours of struggle, she was suddenly doing it on her own.
Suzy once believed she was a “math flunky.” Struggling through school and discouraged by teachers, she never imagined a future in mathematics. But Suzy proved them wrong earning a bachelor’s in mathematics, a master’s in Statistics, becoming an Associate of the Society of Actuaries, and authoring two books for actuaries: Survival Models Made Easy and Risk Theory Made Easy. Her early challenges inspired her to help others gain confidence in math.
Math & Movement began with Suzy’s daughter skipping counting on a trampoline and has since reached educators and students worldwide. Our Learner-Centered Design philosophy brings movement-based learning to schools in forty-seven states and parts of Canada, serving Title 1, charter, private, and public-school districts of all sizes.
