About Us

The Math Gym is a subsidiary of The Waid Group, Inc., a privately held corporation located in the Wichita Mountains of Oklahoma. The Math Gym was formed in 2003, the realization of a lifetime dream of its founders, Carter and Margaret Waid.

The Mission of The Math Gym is to make a lasting impact on mathematics and science education. We are dedicated to bringing the concepts and methods of modern mathematics and science to the primary, secondary, and even pre-school levels.

We Specialize in the development of games and other instructional solutions that give physical realizations of abstract concepts.

We have chosen games as our primary medium for several reasons. First, games provide a familiar environment for a child that minimizes math anxiety. Second, competition to win the game forces children to act and not freeze up. Third, children seem to be able to remain focused while playing a game far longer than in the normal classroom environment. We believe that games, fun games that challenge the mind, can be invaluable in augmenting instruction.

A game is a structured set of fun problems.
