Ryan’s Math Adventure

When the majority of children are asked what they think about math, they often say they think of it as a boring subject that involves too much memorization.

Ryan’s Math Adventure was developed as a way to allow students to learn the concepts and principles of mathematics naturally through storytelling. Students can learn about the creative side of mathematics as they are introduced to real-world examples of math used in the story. All while immersing themselves in the exciting fantasy world.

Brand History

“Elementary School Math!? Is there really any way to learn math AND have fun at the same time?"

Many students think math is boring and difficult, and quite often they start to lose interest as they find it hard to connect math with what they see in the real world. As such, a team of passionate math teachers came together to help develop a more fun and meaningful way for students to learn elementary school level math. This book was developed with the following three characteristics in mind.

1st: First, based primarily on Korean mathematics education, known for being one of the top countries in the world in terms of education. We then extracted concepts from elementary math curriculums in China, the United States, and Japan, in order to compare and combine them, creating a math adventure series that covers the general concepts of elementary school math using an international curriculum.

2st: Second, we developed the manuscript while taking into consideration the process, method, and attitude children have toward understanding and utilizing mathematics.

3st: Third, taking into consideration the natural curiosity of students, we wanted to take math concepts and their problem-solving processes, extract them, and insert them into a fantasy story. The research and writing staff went through many adventure concepts and ideas while preparing the manuscript for over three years. Everyone in our team hopes that through this story, students can become excited to learn math alongside Ryan, Aris, and the rest of our main cast of characters.
