Math for Young Minds
A neurodivergent-friendly elementary math curriculum, designed for short attention spans and real-world learning. Free forever. Common Core anchored.
The big idea
Math is something you do with the world, not to a worksheet. Every session starts with a real object a child can touch — cars, cookies, crayons — and only later moves to symbols on a page. Sessions are 15–25 minutes (attention-span-aware), use the same predictable 5-block structure every time, and have no timed tests.
What's in each session

One page for the student — visual schedule, big drawing space, scaffolded practice.
🏠 Family guide
A take-home note for parents with a 1-minute home activity.
🔑 Cheat sheet

Designed for every kind of mind
Predictable structure. Short focused chunks. Multi-modal teaching (concrete → drawing → symbol). Atkinson Hyperlegible font for low-vision and dyslexia friendliness. High contrast. Generous white space. No timed tests, ever. Formative observation only — three tiers: developing, using, extending.
