About Rocket Math and Dr. Don

Rocket Math believes that students are motivated by seeing their own learning and success.

 

We offer a way to teach kids math so that they can enjoy it, do it well, and do it quickly.  

 

As a teacher, if you’d like ALL of your kids, not just a select few, to be successful at math,  Rocket Math can help.

 

What does Rocket Math offer?

  • Systems that help young students become fluent in math and enjoy the process. 
  • Originally only our paper-and-pencil Worksheet Program, there is also now an Online Game, (a web-browser app and a Rocket Math mobile app on both Apple App store and Google Play).  

We believe…

  1. All students can learn math
  2. Students are motivated by seeing their own learning and success
    1. Math doesn’t have to be difficult
    2. Teaching time is precious
    3. School should not be so difficult for children.
      We should do what we can to make them successful.
    4. Kids are motivated by their sense of mastery
    5. After you teach new skills, you should have cumulative practice
