Mathematics is a live science with new discoveries being made every day. The frontier of mathematics is an exciting place, where mathematicians experiment and play with creative and imaginative ideas. Many of these ideas are accessible to young children. Others (infinity is a good example) are ideas that have already piqued many children's curiosity, but their profound mathematical importance is not widely known or understood. The MegaMath project is intended to bring unusual and important mathematical ideas to elementary school classrooms so that young people and their teachers can think about them together.

This project was directed by Rita J. King and Joshua Fouts, who work with an extensive network of experts on all aspects of the transformation of education and the future of work. Put these findings into practice The co-directors of this project, Rita J. King and Joshua Fouts, offer consulting sessions for practitioners of the new global culture and economy at all levels. Whether you need to learn how to use Twitter, build a complex simulation environment or create an innovator's community of practice in your classroom, school, district, state, nation or world, we can work with you to achieve that goal.
