Exciting News! We launched our Indiegogo campaign, " 150,000 Ebooks for FUNMath" to raise $3 million for the upgrade and transformation of a highly valuable mathematics learning tool. FUNdamentallyMATH has been used by a small segment of people to increase their math performance by up to two grade levels. It's now time to provide broad access to the program in order to increase math proficiency worldwide. Contribute today by going to Indiegogo and search for FUNMath. Read more below on FUNdamentallyMATH.
Background on FUNdamentallyMATH
FUNdamentallyMATH is a comprehensive math software product that teaches math from the basics of 1+1 through Advanced Algebra. Calculus and probability components will be completed so that the entire K-12 curriculum is covered. The existing product has proven test results and received great reviews from home-schoolers and university professors. Parents have seen their child’s performance go from a ‘C’ average to an ‘A’ average with 30 to 60 minute use a few times a week over a short period of time. A formal study conducted by the University of North Carolina, showed that the software was effective to the 95th percentile and helped users increase their raw end of grade scores by over 20 points with one hour a week use over ten weeks.
This result was consistent across racial differences. Funds are now being raised to convert it into an Internet subscription-based product, incorporate it into a serious-game and market it broadly.
In addition, our game developer is one of the top development firms in the US and its philosophy is similar to ours in that our aim is to help as many children as possible learn math in a positive, non-violent way that will lead to a significant improvement in math proficiency, globally. According to the National Center for Education Statistics in the US, “The Nation’s Report Card, Mathematics 2011”, 59% of all 4th and 66% of 8th graders lacked proficiency in math. Although this is a slowly improving trend it means that over 36 million of the 61 million students in kindergarten through high school cannot demonstrate competency over challenging subject matter at their grade level. Proficient has also been defined as solid academic performance for each grade assessed.
These results are not significantly different from the 2005 results, which also reported outcomes by race. When reviewed by race, over 90% of African American, 60% of White, 84% of Hispanic, and 80% of American Indian students lacked math proficiency. This level of proficiency should be significantly improved based on the pervasiveness of technology and other science and math related changes in the way we work and live.
Although there are other math programs available, our assessments have shown FUNdamentally Math to have greater breadth and depth in content. Although it is a comprehensive learning tool, the FUN in FUNdamentallyMath comes from the joy and sense of accomplishment users feel after grasping a subject they were previously challenged by.
Upon launch, the products will be available globally. But our PR and marketing efforts will start with a systematic US rollout first that will then be expanded on a country-by-country basis.
FUNdamentalllyMath is led by Eleanor Reid who is a management consultant and served as a corporate development officer for many years. Her experience includes tenures at McKinsey & Company, Goldmans Sachs , and a Real Estate private equity firm. She has worked with several start-ups and small to large businesses and brings a background in engineering as well as business administration. Other participants in the company are the original developer of FUNdamentally Math and a CEO and COO of a private equity firm. Collectively, the team has over 100 years of combined experience in successfully starting and managing financial, real estate and product companies.
The Campaign
FUNdamentallyMATH, in its original form, is a proven, powerful math software tool that has helped children and adults understand mathematics. It covers the full suite of math from the basics of 1+1 through advanced algebra (Calculus to be added)
A select few have used this product to improve performance by up to two grade levels in less than 3 months, and now it is time to give everyone a chance to do the same.
The coding for this product is very complex and requires the developer to be proficient in mathematics. The funds we raise during our campaign will go towards upgrading the program for Internet access, and incorporating the content into a serious-game platform that will allow collaboration among users. Funds will also be used to set-up the infrastructure of the business including a new website and back office operations to support user subscriptions and track performance, and nationwide Public Relations and Marketing.
The full cost of product development exceeds $3 million, but this initial infusion will help us accomplish the following:
vUpgrade the existing product and create an Internet-based subscription service, back office and structure
vComplete Phase I of the Serious-Game: currently includes completion of game design, incorporating key performance measures and preparing for initial release of basic math and/or middle school math.
vWebsite Portal and back-office support including smart performance tracking
vNationwide Public Relations and Marketing for the Launch of the Upgrade

Learn From Experiences But Keep Your "Gifts"
Understanding who we are and accepting who we are is vital
to transitioning from one season of life into another. I Peter 2:9 says,
"We are a chosen race, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation God’s own people. So that we may proclaim the mighty acts of
him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light."
Those chosen were predestined to obey the
Word of God. What I find interesting in
these verses is that those chosen were predestined or created to obey the Word
of God. So, although we all should obey the Word not everyone is chosen or, in other words, has the willingness of heart that is required to enter the kingdom. Matthew 22:14 says, "Many are invited, but few are chosen". To be chosen by God is not a biased act of God in which He picks one person over the other randomly. He invites all to come into the kingdom. But only those that have hearing ears that respond properly to the Word are dressed and ready to become a part of it. Being chosen is our choice.
Once you are chosen through God's drawing and your decision to yield to it, you become the son or daughter of God. And now, because you are officially His child, kingdom principles and laws apply to you
(I Peter 2:10). This is why certain people can do things and seemingly get away with or succeed in spite of it, while those of us who have been
chosen can’t get away with anything. We
were created with the purpose of being among those that seek the Word,
understand and follow it. When we don’t, we face issues. When we don’t obey
the Word our lives may become traumatic because we are bucking against and are out of alignment with the
foundation of our purpose. The issues give us the discipline needed to bring us back to where we committed to be. Those who are not chosen are gambling with their destinies by hearing the call but rejecting it. For whereas Christ has become life to those chosen, He also becomes a stumbling block to those not chosen (vs.7-8). They will eventually fall. Therefore, it is imperative that anyone who hears God, obeys Him.
Human beings are the only creatures that try to do things
they weren’t created to do. The only
other creatures that may go against their purpose are those that humans train
to do abnormal things. When we buck
against our purpose, the plans that God has for our lives can’t flow. So, we end up praying for change not realizing that the
change we seek can only be found on the path that is paved with obedience to the
Word.
Am I being legalistic? No, Because
God really does want each of us to live a fulfilled and abundantly prosperous life
in every area of our lives without being stressed about whether or not we’ve done
everything exactly right. What I’m
speaking of are the conscience choices we make to have lifestyles or characters
that don’t line up with God’s Word. For
example, though you used to be a trusting and generous person, as a result of some pain experienced in your
life, you now choose to trust no one and always look out for “number 1"-yourself, even if it means that someone else gets hurt. Or, someone hurt
you so badly that you say you’ve forgiven but the bitterness lingers in your
heart so you can’t ever seem to be really happy. Whether you know it or
not, that poor attitude shows and keeps you from getting other blessings in
life you were predestined to have.
Now, yes, we learn wisdom from our experiences that teach us how to better interact with or manage our relationships with others. But what we must avoid is letting those experiences cause us to change the core of who we are. That core is the true character built in each of us by God. If God created you with a character of trust and generosity. Hold onto it but use the wisdom learned from your bitter experiences to help you use that character more effectively for the kingdom and thereby, yourself. If God blessed you with patience and quietness, don't let the way the "world works" intimidate you or cause you to feel like you can't be "successful" (Success is not what many people think it is) because "you are not aggressive enough." Hold onto what God has blessed you with as you transition through various seasons and circumstances of your life. We are living stones being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood (v. 5).
We must hold fast to the character that will help ensure we are walking in peaceful obedience and becoming that holy priesthood. Galatians 5:22-24 lays it out: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness,
Gentleness and Self Control. If we can
embody and hold onto these seven virtues despite our experience, we will establish a great foundation for being
who God intends for us to be and become.
