The Problem
Every day, students receive messages — from pop culture, to social media, to family and friends — that math is something you either get or you don’t.
That they’re not math people.
That math isn’t for them.
But we’re living in a STEM-driven, tech-powered, AI-shaped world — and all of it runs on mathematics.
Not seeing yourself as a math person is no longer an option. Research from Ohio State University confirms what’s at stake: low math confidence can essentially cancel out strong math ability, with an impact equivalent to $94,000 in annual income.
At Math Equals Me, we push back on that narrative. We show students that math isn’t just something they can do — math is them.
“Confidence has grown in our young women. They not only see themselves as mathematicians, but feel affirmed and celebrated in their racial identity. Students ask about the kits all the time and want to know when they can do more math.”
Lisa W.
Elementary School Assistant Principal
What We Offer
Math Confidence Kits
Standards-aligned, theme-based kits that build math skills and confidence at the same time. Every kit connects math to real-world topics and real mathematicians students can see themselves in — packaged with everything educators need to get started without a heavy lift.
Student Workshops
High-energy, culturally relevant math experiences that connect math to careers, hair, commercials, and more. Available in-person and virtually.
Speaking Engagements
An inspiring session for your next student event, program kickoff, or school assembly. Founder Brittany Rhodes brings warmth, energy, and a message students actually remember. Available in-person and virtually.
For The Educators in The Room
Math confidence is contagious — and it starts with the adults in the room. Math Equals Me professional development gives educators and program staff the practical, confidence-building strategies they need to create a math-positive environment where every student can thrive.
Professional Development
Math anxiety doesn’t start and stop with students — sometimes, educators carry it too, and that’s common! Math Equals Me professional development helps educators understand where math anxiety comes from, recognize how it shows up across different student profiles, and build the kind of math-positive, safe and brave learning environments where every student has a real chance to grow. Sessions are practical, grounding, and designed to meet educators exactly where they are. Available in-person and virtually.
“Creative, innovative, and inclusive thinking that supports our babies and students.”

Math Equals Me is not a test prep program. We don’t lead with scores, we lead with students. Our products and services are:
• Designed to build math confidence and math identity intentionally, not just give students more practice
• Built around culturally relevant, real-world themes and real mathematicians students can see themselves in
• Standards-aligned and flexible for classrooms, small groups, stations, enrichment, and OST programs
• Practical for educators and program staff to use without a heavy lift
