MathTalk is a labor of love that has grown out of 50+ years of experience teaching math in public schools and in communities across America. My journey here began with my dad, Bob Moses, who was a field secretary in the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and is the founder of the Algebra Project. When we were kids he began working in our classrooms to make sure the math we and our classmates learned would prepare us for the future.

My first jobs, before and during high school and in college, involved teaching math. When I left college in 1996 I traveled south to work with the Algebra Project at Brinkley Middle School in Jackson, Mississippi. The Young People’s Project, a non-profit organization whose mission is to use Math Literacy Work to develop the abilities of elementary through high school students to succeed in school and in life, grew out of that experience. This work has now followed me into fatherhood. Since I’ve become a dad I’ve had lots of fun with my kids -- Johari, 8, and Kamara, 6 -- discovering, exploring and talking about all of the math that’s around us. I’ve also learned how powerful early math can be in preparing kids to succeed in school and beyond. As the founder and CEO of MathTalk it is my desire to work with families and in communities to create products that inspire children and the adults that care for them to enjoy math everywhere!
