A free site for helping your children learn math facts.
****

XtraMath is a Seattle-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to math achievement for all. Our goal is to develop effective, efficient, adaptive and intrinsically rewarding supplemental math activities and make them available for free.

David Jeschke
XtraMath started in the fall of 2007 when David Jeschke, a computer programmer, volunteered at a local elementary school and recognized the need for an individualized math practice program. XtraMath spread rapidly to other classrooms by word of mouth and the program continues to evolve to meet the needs of the students, teachers, and parents.

The teacher who appears in the student activities is Christopher Robert, a National Board Certified Teacher in the Seattle School District. In 2009 Chris was honored as a "Hero in the Classroom."

The teacher who appears in the introductory videos is Denise Ohlson, a National Board Certified Teacher in the Peninsula School District. She has taught for many years in all the elementary grades. In addition to being a teacher Denise is also a voice artist.

Erika Newell answers email questions from parents and teachers. She has a BA in Mathematics from DePauw University and likes helping people use technology to its full potential. Her children love using XtraMath.

We encourage and appreciate your questions, comments and suggestions. For any matter related to XtraMath please email erika@xtramath.org. Due to limited resources we can only offer support via email.
