Dear friends:

As you know, I've been working for the past 2.5 years to help teachers teach math in a new and more engaging way.  In that time, I'm proud to say that you've become part of the Mathalicious family.

This morning we announced a Kickstarter campaign for Math52, a weekly video series that will explore a unique application of math in everyday life.  Kickstarter allows donors to fund creative projects that they care about, from watch bands to photography books.  We are using it to offer a fresh vision of what it means to teach math.

For the campaign to be successful, we need to raise $164,000.  (To put this in perspective, LeBron James makes this in a single NBA game.)  For the same amount, we can transform how millions of students learn math...and how they see the world.

I would be grateful if you would help support this effort by donating to Math52.  And if you have friends or colleagues who are passionate about improving education, please share this email with them.  I believe we have a unique opportunity to make a lasting and positive change -- to support smarter students and happier teachers -- and thank you for your help.

Yours,

Karim
