Testimonials

“The games are helpful for all students, including those who are generally anxious about math. They start to appreciate the beauty of math.”

“We heard so many of the kids say, ‘This is math?!’ The activities stretch their ideas of what mathematics is.”

“There were kids who love math from all over the metropolitan area, and a lot more kids who hate math but who had been coerced by their parents into coming. The most amazing thing was that they all loved it, and all had a blast, and you couldn’t tell who was who.”

“The best part is watching the kids enjoy ‘playing math’ and seeing their faces light up when they have that moment of discovery!”

“Whether used in-person or online, JRMF activities provide an easy way for a teacher to successfully offer opportunities for open-ended mathematical exploration to their students regardless of their ages and mathematical sophistication.”

“It was really cool to see the different online resources that are accessible for our students and classrooms. I like that JRMF’s activities are virtual, but you can also do this activity with manipulatives. These math tasks are fun ways to engage in mathematical concepts.”

”I love JRMF for providing rich experiences to students. I appreciate the shift over the last few years to reach more students.
I hosted a festival last year and over 600 students attended. As I read over students’ reflections of the festival, they loved the challenges and different activities. It was such a success that my principal wants it to become a yearly tradition, and other leaders in our district want to bring math festivals to their schools as well. Thanks JRMF for creating such a wonderful experience for children. I can’t wait to host another festival.”

”JRMF is an amazing program. I love playing with the games and figuring out the strategy. The “Eureka!” moment when I finally figure out the best way to solve the puzzle is so thrilling! It’s also very interactive, which I like too!”
