Betsy designed each game with strategy in mind- her vision is to make math stress-free and fun. Each card game is carefully packaged (plastic snap case) and is a perfect stocking stuffer or game to stick in a basket in the car for those times when you have a 15-minute wait for a sibling. These quick and simple card games are ideal for screen-free entertainment.

Betsy also has a blog called Raising Smart Kids and several free resources on her website. She is a family owned business... changing math education one game at a a time.
