"This is such a great PBL workbook for kids who are cat lovers! We brought it to our local Humane Society to work on while reading to cats. I've recommended to so many people, especially homeschoolers. Love that there's a printed workbook available online, but that it's also available on TPT."

Description

Kitten Math is an engaging, real-world math project that uses math project-based learning to immerse students in meaningful, story-driven challenges.

Through authentic real-world math problems, students care for four orphaned kittens—planning, budgeting, measuring, and problem-solving their way through each task as math naturally becomes part of every decision they make.

This multi-week math project weaves mini-lessons and targeted practice into purposeful activities, making math feel relevant, connected, and motivating for learners who thrive on hands-on, visual, and applied learning.

Daughter with Dyscalculia loves it

Met expectations
Great value
We are homeschoolers, and math has always been a struggle for my daughter. Regular curricula practice problems often ends in tears and resistance. Kitten Math is not a full curriculum and does not teach new math concepts. Instead, it assumes the child already knows the math and reinforces those concepts through meaningful, real-world problems. We use Kitten Math as a supplement when frustration starts to rise, and it has been incredibly effective in changing the tone of math time. We move through it slowly because it is rich and thoughtfully designed, but the results are clear: less resistance, fewer arguments, and a greater willingness to engage with math. For us, it works exactly as intended. It diffuses tension, builds confidence, and helps my child apply what she already knows in a way that feels purposeful and enjoyable.
