CAMathories®
Kit Cheung, PhD
Education
What inspired you to start your business?
I struggled to teach my toddler math; yet, she loves listening to my folk storytelling. Research shows that teaching math in a meaningful context can effectively help children understand math. So, I co-founded CAMathories Company with Cambridge math and education researchers/professors to teach math with global folktales.
What sets CAMathories® apart?
We publish books and teaching plans. We blend the teaching of logic (math) and folktales (literacy) from different countries (cultures). By educating the next generation to read well, think logically, and understand other peoples’ cultures, we hope to build a better world together.
What do you love most about what you do?
Reading and teaching children Folktale Mathematics™ and opening their eyes to the world.
What else would you like NJ families to know about you?
I’m a proud mom of a New Jersey high school fresh(wo)man (yes, that toddler!) who is an award-winning athlete, a piano and orchestra music composer and a member of ASCAP (and yes, with straight As in math, English and other subjects so far in high school, too)!
