The FUNS Method is Amazing

"The FUNS Method has completely changed how my child sees math! Before, multiplication felt like a chore, but now, he loves learning through stories and adventures. He’s always excited to ‘earn his number badges,’ and I’ve noticed a big improvement in his confidence. Learning feels natural and fun"

"As a teacher, I’ve seen many math programs, but the FUNS Method is truly special. It engages children in a way that traditional methods don’t. My students retain multiplication facts effortlessly because they associate them with characters and stories. It’s a game-changer for early math education!"

"I love the FUNS stories! Sixby the Deer and his friends make learning times tables so much fun. My favorite part is when Sixby woke up and saw Eighton the Spider on his face—he got so scared! I do not need to memorize the answers to multiplication; I just remember them by imagining the places and the adventures. For example, I remember Sixby and Seventer's adventure in Fruity Toot Garden, which helps me with 6 × 7 equals 42!
