Due to the importance of developing relationships with and helping our youngest children learn the essential core concepts of elementary-level math, I do not offer a group-based program for younger students. However, please consider private lessons designed for your child's INDIVIDUAL learning needs and your family's schedule.

Reviews

"An exceptionally talented and experienced AAP teacher just opened up more spots in her math club, enrichment programs, and individualized math instruction. Our second grader is in her virtual math club and LOVES it. It is a fantastic club for advanced mathematicians in elementary school (or afterschool enrichment).  The club is fun, rigorous, and social. I was really struggling with how to teach my daughter math, and then Ms. Mendez came and saved the day (and my sanity). She is so passionate and creative and provides plenty of extension opportunities outside the direct classroom time (e.g., math books, riddles, Flipgrid video projects with other kids.) She is a natural in the virtual classroom environment.  It's a complete math course for elementary students for an affordable price." - Amanda

    What We Do

    This is not a traditional math class or tutoring program. It's a fun, inquiry- and project-based experience because we believe:

    All children, given the right support and time, can learn mathematics to the highest levels.  


    Beautiful Math Minds classes, clubs, and camps are led by Jen Mendez, a veteran Virginia-certified elementary school educator with over 15 years of experience, specifically as an Advanced Academics Program (AAP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) teacher. Whether online or in-person, kids come together for fun and collaborative mixed age hands-on, minds-on experiences. We tackle enriching challenges and engage in number talks that require the kids to be creative problem-solvers and critical thinkers. We value diversity in thinking and kids who love to ask questions! 

    Education is Always a Gift

    Standards vs. Individual Growth

    Standards vs. Individual Growth

    COVID resulted (and continues to create) many challenges, but it also provided us with many gifts, including the gifts of possibility and opportunity to re-imagine what it means to learn and educate. Education is not a zero-sum game where one child's gain or loss is exactly balanced by the losses or gains of another. Everyone can "win" with each individual win. Societies with higher rates of education have lower crime, better overall health, and civic involvement.  Success and true equity in education depends on innovation, collaboration, and honoring individual learning. Let us remember and honor our children, the future, by gratefully and lovingly valuing and supporting their questions, curiosities, and lifelong learning adventures.

    Standards vs. Individual Growth

    Standards vs. Individual Growth

    Standards vs. Individual Growth

    Kids are amazing, unique individuals who grow and change in their own time. There are targets (goals, standards, etc.) in education and life, places we want our children to reach for and eventually be. However, the path and journey along the way are many and varied. When we push all kids to learn the same thing at the same pace, it meets the needs of very few. For many, this means gaps in knowledge that, at some point, have to be filled if kids are to learn higher math.  For many others, it results in boredom and lost opportunities to reach one's highest potential. Let's personalize and individualize the learning so that each child is growing as a learner, measured against their own goals and personal growth rather than standards that are explicitly based on age.
