It's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day to recognize that providing equitable learning opportunities in math and science are essential for helping girls to develop the confidence, curiosity, and resilience required to pursue excellence in math.

Happy E-Day! What is E-Day? E-Day celebrates Euler's number 2.71828 otherwise represented by the mathematical constant ""e"". It is often considered the second most influential transcendental number (just behind pi), essential for calculating exponential growth, decay, and compound interest.

Prices on our evidence-based K–8 print and digital resources will increase starting May 1, 2026. Be sure to take advantage of 2025 prices while they last and check out our Early Bird Sale starting February 9. Stay tuned for details!
