No. Math Companions are a supplemental math program, designed to connect the math learned in math class to our children’s real lives at home. They are perfect for families who want to add in more math talk at home.

Each Weekly Activity Plan includes 2 or 3 activities and conversations.

You have two payment options: a one-time payment of $120 for the full program or a monthly membership in which you receive new content each month. The content is identical.

The full-year option is non-refundable because the digital content you receive immediately upon purchase cannot be returned. If you’d like to test out the program before committing to the full year, start with the monthly membership. If, after trying out the program, you decide you’re ready to commit to the full year, email help@countingwithkids.com for help rolling your purchase over to the full-year program. If instead you decide the program is not the right fit for your family, you can also email help@countingwithkids.com to cancel future monthly payments.

Math Companions are organized by US grade levels. Here are the approximate age levels for each:

Toddler: ages 2 to 3.5

Preschool: ages 3.5 to 5

Kindergarten: ages 5 to 6

1st Grade: ages 6 to 7 (or age 8 for review)

You have two purchase options: a one-time payment of $120 or the monthly membership. The one-time, $120 payment is non-refundable because digital content cannot be returned.

If you join the monthly membership, you can cancel any time and will not be charged for any additional months. Because the program is digital and you can’t return digital resources, previously purchased months are nonrefundable. Email help@countingwithkids.com from the email address attached to your account and a cancellation will be processed before your next payment.

I have organized the content so that there are 15 minutes or less of learning time for parents each week. The weekly activity plans include 2 to 3 activities and conversation starters per week. You can pick and choose what to do in the weekly plans, doing as much or as little as you want each week.

Each Math Companion includes 40 weekly activity plans, and covers a full year of grade level content. 40 weekly plans accounts for weeks you’ll take off for vacation and holidays as well as providing some space to slow down when you want to stick with a concept for an additional week.

If purchasing the full year program, you have access to all the content immediately upon purchase.

If purchasing the monthly membership, you’ll have immediate access to 2 months of weekly plans. New sets of weekly plans become available each month you continue in the program until all 40 weeks of plans have become available.

If you purchase the $120 full year option, you have permanent access to the program.

If you purchase the monthly membership, you must complete the 12 monthly payments to retain permanent access to the program. After 12 months of membership, the recurring monthly payment automatically stops and you retain permanent access to the content in that grade level. If you cancel before 12 months, you will lose access to the content.

The 2nd grade program (and any future grades beyond 2nd) have fewer activities than the full Math Companions offered for toddlers through 1st graders. Oftentimes, by 2nd grade, families have more extracurricular commitments and the shorter version, the Mini Math Companion, is created to accommodate these schedules. The Mini Math Companion in 2nd grade does not include the weekly emails or weekly activity plans, and instead has 20 activities and 20 math moments that can be used at any point throughout the school year as it fits with a family’s schedule.
