Hi, I'm Colleen King. I created Math Playground in 2002 for students in my class who needed a fun way to practice math facts. Since then, Math Playground has grown to include a wide variety of math topics, from problem solving and mathematical art to real world math. I'm currently designing a set of algebraic thinking games and hope to have them online soon.

When I'm not developing new activities for Math Playground, I teach at a mathematics learning center. My colleagues and I are brainstorming ways to help children learn math through computer programming. We're using LOGO and Scratch with K-6 students and Python and Actionscript with older students.

Please email me directly with any questions, comments, or requests you may have. I read every message and do my best to respond promptly.

If you have an idea for a project, game design, teaching tool, or other educational venture and would like to work with Math Playground, please let me know. I'd welcome the opportunity to help improve math education.

The primary goals of Math Playground are to help students feel more confident about their math skills and to help them form more positive attitudes toward the subject of math. I try to accomplish these goals by providing engaging games and activities that students find meaningful and fun.
