  • Bedtime Math is a non-profit organization focused on mathematics education for young children. Its founder, Laura Bilodeau Overdeck, launched the venture in February 2012 with a website and a daily email, followed by a mobile application. The organization has been featured in The New York Times parenting blog, USA Today, and National Public Radio (NPR); its books have been featured on NPR's Science Friday and reviewed in The Wall Street Journal. News outlets hailed its fast-growing following as "heartening news for educators who bemoan the state of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in the U.S." In 2015, an article in the journal Science reported on a randomized trial that found use of the Bedtime Math iPad app improved performance of first-graders in math at school, especially among those whose parents had high math anxiety.In 2018, the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General published new findings that showed the gains in math achievement of children who used the Bedtime Math app persisted through the end of third grade, even if they decreased or stopped using the app.It was named one of the best online learning math apps for kids by The New York Times, and one of the few outstanding apps in early STEM learning for children by the Brookings Institution. In March 2014 Bedtime Math launched Crazy 8s, a free nationwide after-school math club, designed to make math recreational. Within months, the organization received over 2,000 orders for free math club kits serving over 30,000 kids in grades K-5. In 2018, researchers at Johns Hopkins University released results of a study that found its Crazy 8s math club significantly reduced children's feelings of math anxiety after eight weeks of participation in the club. The effect was more pronounced among younger kids in the kindergarten through second grade club. It is the largest recreational after-school math club for elementary school kids. In 2019, Bedtime Math created Fun Factor, its new curriculum for the K-5 classroom developed in consultation with Columbia Teachers College. It features dynamic math activities that align to standards and address key concepts to meet the needs of all learners, paired with teacher professional development. (en)
