Co-Pilot Program for Schools

Funexpected is looking for like-minded teachers who are eager to co-pilot an enrichment math course for PreK to 2nd Grade students. The goal is to enhance math education for young learners, fostering a foundation of curiosity, experimentation, and confidence in math fields from an early age.

At Funexpected we believe:

All kids are capable.

We believe that kids can learn math just as easily as they pick up their own language. By giving tasks based on the zone of proximal development, we help children feel capable and grow at a pace that's right for them.

Encourage Experimenting.

Knowing the right answer isn't as important as figuring out how to find it. A child's natural curiosity is the most precious and powerful driver of learning.

Start Early.

It's crucial to begin math education early, as the math gap in children can start as early as 5 years old. Even little ones can tackle big problems if we talk to them in a way they understand
