About Us

Designed by Vermont fifth-grade math teacher Mike Kenny, MathFactLab is based on the idea that pattern recognition makes math easier to learn.

Each year, Mike found that many of his students came to fifth grade lacking basic math fact fluency. Frustrated that the math fact materials commercially available did not match what research recommended, he gradually came to the conclusion that he ought to try creating his own math fact program. MathFactLab is the result of several years of effort, much research, a great heap of advice, many drafts, and lots of trial and error in Mike’s classroom and beyond.

Mike has degrees from the University of Notre Dame, the College of William and Mary, and the Vermont Mathematics Initiative (at UVM). He offers free trainings for teachers to help them get the most out of MathFactLab and is also happy to hear your questions, feedback, and/or suggestions.
