What We Do

Parents know to read to their kids at night, but what about math? Our goal is simple: to make math a fun part of kids’ everyday lives, as beloved as the bedtime story.

Bedtime Math sends parents a fun, new math problem every day, on everything from electric eels to chocolate chips to flamingoes. Targeted for kids ages 3-9, it begins with a short, fun set-up story, followed by three math problems at three levels of challenge. Our founder, Laura Overdeck, did this for years with her own young children, until one day her third child, age 2, ran in yelling that he wanted his own fun math problem, just like his big sister and brother!

Kids learn best when they’re engaged and having fun. They need to develop strong math skills so that as adults they can negotiate salary and rent, avoid rip-off warranties, and show up to places on time – and perhaps do a high-paying high-tech job.

Right now adults are math-anxious, and kids are multiple grade levels behind. Let’s tackle both, and help our kids catch up on their math savvy outside school.

Our Mission

Bedtime Math is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating transformative math experiences that elevate every kid’s math confidence and abilities. All donations, along with all royalties from the sale of founder Laura Overdeck’s Bedtime Math book series, are used to subsidize our free and low-cost programming for families and educators. 

Our Team

We’re a team of creative thinkers and math trailblazers who believe in the power of numeracy. We’re constantly brainstorming ideas (yes, chocolate is often part of the equation) to bring math to life for kids all across the country. And we’re passionate about what we do. Meet the members of our math-amazing team.
