We make math come alive through storytelling, hands-on activities, and community-based learning. From our debut children’s book Queen of 24 to programs like the Free Little Math Library and Queen of 24 Math Kit, we design resources that connect math to real life. Our work is grounded in the belief that when families learn together, confidence grows, curiosity thrives, and a lifelong love of math begins.
Abington's First Little Free Math Library
Math is All Around Us
The Little Free Math Library is a neighborhood spot where math meets fun! Just like a regular Little Free Library, it’s open to everyone—take a book, leave a book, or simply stop by to explore. But instead of only stories, you’ll find math adventures waiting inside—puzzles, games, riddles, and books that show how exciting and creative math can be.
From stories about inspiring mathematicians to activities that connect numbers to everyday life, the library helps kids and families see that math isn’t just homework—it’s part of the world around us. It’s a place to spark curiosity, build confidence, and share the joy of learning together. After all, when math is playful, we discover that math is truly all around us!
