Hi Friends

What do you think we should do next?
Some potential directions:
Podcast. There are many interesting teachers / tutors / startups / camps / online classes in the teach math to kids space that I’ve learned from or have popped up recently. It would be interesting to learn more about what they are offering and to get a sense of what they are doing and their approach.
Books. I have a set of notes for a few different books I’ve written for my kids. I could polish those and publish chapters at a time.
a) “Number Theory for Kids” - I have a 90-page draft with drawings
b) “Algorithms for Kids” - Outline and coding exercises
c) “Math Proofs for Kids” - A giant collection of “math proofs” that kids don’t need a bunch of machinery to do (though some do reach into high school math)Thoughts. I continue to publish my thoughts as they come to me, and I find them worth sharing.
Classes. My kids and I have taken a bunch of math classes and haven’t found quite the perfect fit for what we want, so I have found myself creating my own classes for my kids. Maybe your kids would like them, too? This could be done in conjunction with the books above. Basically, kids meet with me (and my kids) to go through the books together to learn some math—almost like an online math circle type of thing.
Something else?! I imagine you initially signed up to receive my emails because you thought you’d learn something to help your kid. Maybe (probably a big possibility) I haven’t helped you/your kid yet. Tell me what it is and I can see if I can figure out how to do it :)
Hit reply to this email/post and let me know what you want.
Thanks!
