Whether your kids are “good” at math or not, likely they aren’t reading math books in their spare time.  

We can help our kids love math!

In this episode, Kami talks with math teacher and homeschool dad Brian King about how to help your kids truly enjoy math—not just get through it. 

No matter what age your kids are, Brian shares simple, real-world strategies for building curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking skills through math.

Brian King is a high school math teacher, homeschool dad, and outdoor adventure enthusiast. He has graduate degrees in Teaching and Learning, Proficiency-Based Learning, and is certified to teach Mathematics, Special Education and ESL. He has also worked as adjunct faculty in the UMaine system for teacher education and chaired the Math department at Gorham High School.

Brian runs Relevant Learning, an online algebra tutoring business, Eco-STEM Adventures, an outdoor math and science learning program for kids, and most recently Algebra Mastery - Homeskoolers, a community with live and recorded math classes and courses!


You’re going to discover:

  • Why many kids do well in math but don’t love it

  • How to build algebraic thinking without worksheets

  • The one math skill most kids are missing—and how to teach it naturally

  • Easy ways to bring math to life through patterns, play, and real-life situations

If you want your kids to feel confident in math and actually enjoy learning it, then this episode is for you!
