📣 “I’m not a math person.”
We’ve all heard it. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself.
More often than not, it’s parents who say this—even as they try to support their kids in math.
And we get it.
At When Math Happens, we’ve been there too. As former struggling learners ourselves, we know what it’s like to feel disconnected from math. To feel confused, embarrassed, or like you’re just “not wired” for numbers.
That’s Why Our Mission Is Simple:
Math for people who don’t like math.
Instead of getting frustrated with people who say they’re “not math people,” we meet them where they are.
That approach shows up in everything we do:
The way we explain concepts in plain language
The way we encourage tools like calculators and finger-counting
The way we focus on small wins and meaningful visuals
Because strategies that help you understand are never something to be ashamed of.
Our Parent Courses Were Built for You
We designed our Parent Courses specifically for families who want to help—but don’t feel confident doing so. Whether it’s been years since you took Algebra or you never felt like you “got” Geometry, we’ve got you covered.
You don’t have to be a “math person” to support your child in math.
You just need the right tools, explained in a way that makes sense.
Know a parent who could use this kind of support?
We’d be so grateful if you passed this along:👉 WhenMathHappens.com
