14 min - 29: How Brittany Rhodes is Using Math to Build Girls’ Confidence through Black Girl MATHgic
In this episode of the Homeschool Our Way Podcast, I’m joined by Brittany Rhodes, the founder of Black Girl MATHgic, a subscription activity kit for kids. She’s giving us ways to build confidence in our kids - especially in our little Black girls - for doing math! She wants us to remember to:
- Approach math from a place of curiosity, not defeat. We don’t want our kids…and our girls especially…to think they can’t do something before they even get started.
- Always think about the intent AND the impact of your words…and when it comes to math, use words that affirm your child’s ability to do it.
Every Black Girl MATHgic box is designed to support in your child’s confidence and also in their ability to understand and apply math through their lived experience. And ultimately, the activities in the kit make math concepts come to life! Learn more in the links below:

About Homeschool Our Way - Homeschooling Programs, Black Moms, Black Families, Working Moms
From the publisher's feed
Have you considered homeschool because you feel like the traditional school system just isn’t meeting your family’s needs as a Black family? Are you worried about finding opportunities to connect with other families of color so that your kids have a safe space to socialize with their peers? Is it hard creating a homeschool schedule that balances your responsibilities as a working mom? Are you struggling to find the perfect curriculum that’s rich with cultural representation and meets your kids’ educational needs?
If any of that sounds familiar, I’m so glad to have you here! This podcast will empower you to take control of your children's education, help you create a personalized learning experience that uplifts and nurtures your children inside and out, and will help you maximize quality time and embrace this learning journey together as a family.
Hi, I’m Elan: a proud Spelman alumna, a wife and a working homeschool mom of 2. But before homeschooling became our way of life, I looked into every type of school imaginable for my girls. I simply couldn’t find a traditional learning environment that truly met their needs.
I tried small private schools, speciality charter schools, and I researched all the public schools near me that boasted the best test scores.
But I finally realized that if I wanted the personalized learning for my kids that would affirm them and allow them to dive deeper into their natural interests and passions, then I would have to take control of their education and completely reimagine what school could look like for my family.
So I decided to start homeschooling. I developed a simple framework that allowed me to create the learning environment my girls needed to thrive, while helping me balance my role as a working homeschool mom.
And now I’m sharing that framework with you!
So if you’re ready to take control and create a homeschool experience…
Tailored to your children's learning needs…
Connected with other homeschool families of color…
All while spending more quality time together as a family - then this is the podcast for you!
So pop in those earbuds and get ready to be educated and inspired by fellow Black moms who are reimagining education for their families and instilling a lifelong love of learning. Because if they can do it, I know you can too!
Let’s do homeschool our way.
