My Story

I'm Kfir, a high school student in Tenafly, New Jersey. I have decided to channel my unbounded passion for mathematics and sports into something more productive than endless debates with my family and friends -- to create middle school math lessons for teachers. My hope is that these lessons will make Math more relevant and interesting resulting in more students discovering for themselves the beauty in Math.
