For every kid, ages 3 to 18

Math should feel like play.

Math toys your kids outgrew? Calculators sitting in a drawer? We collect them at schools and libraries — and pass them along to kids who'd love math, with a special focus on reaching girls early.

What we collect

Math tools for every age.

Math toys

manipulatives, blocks, fraction tiles, counting bears

Calculators

scientific, graphing, basic four-function

Math games

Set, Math Dice, math puzzles, board games

Math books

workbooks, storybooks, puzzle books

How it works

Gather.
Drop off.
Reach a kid.

Round up the math toys, calculators, games, and books your family has outgrown — even the lonely ones in the back of a drawer.

Find one of our collection boxes at a participating school or library, or mail items to us directly. We'll send a postage label if shipping is a hardship.

We sort, clean, and deliver every donation to schools and families who need them — with girls' programs prioritized.

WHY GIRLS

The gap starts younger than you think.

Girls start out just as good at math as boys — but by the time you reach math PhDs, women are down to 29%. The gap starts in childhood, and that's where we work.

HOST A DRIVE

Want to help on Long Island?

We're a student-led charity based on Long Island, NY, growing one collection box at a time. If you're a teacher, librarian, parent, scout leader, or community organizer in our area and you'd like to help, we'd love to hear from you.

Every school, library, or community space we partner with helps us reach kids who'd love math given the chance. We'll work with you on what makes sense for your space.

Tell me and I forget.
Teach me and I remember.
Involve me and I learn.

— Benjamin Franklin

That's what we believe, and it's why we do this. Give a kid the tools to get involved with math, and the rest follows.
