Ramp Up for Back-to-School with Bedtime Math
With the new school year almost upon us, help get your kids’ brains working again with this fun, free daily email newsletter.
With back-to-school stresses piling up, Laura Overdeck wants to let children and parents in on a little secret: math can be fun. Really.

This is what inspired her to create Bedtime Math, a nonprofit that sends out a daily email with a math problem tailored to “wee ones,” little and big kids.
