The state of California has published a set mathematics content standards that serve as the basis for the mathematics curriculum in public schools. The goal of the standards is to provide students with a solid mathematics foundation for their futures. Schools are faced with the challenge of ensuring that all students achieve the competency levels defined by the standards while at the same time motivating and enabling the academically gifted student to reach beyond the standards and achieve his/her full potential.
To help schools meet this challenge, Fun Math Club offers in-classroom and before/after-school programs that supplement the standard curriculum and enrich students' mathematical experiences. In order to capture the interest of all students, lessons use examples that draw on the broad diversity and scope of mathematics and illustrate concepts through puzzles, games, stories, art, magic, etc.
