Crazy 8s is an after-school math club like no other. Any school, public library or 501(c)3 can launch this program to bring kids together in person over math.
Unlike competitive clubs that appeal to a select few, our activities – like Glow-in-the-Dark Geometry and Beach Ball Party – can appeal to any kid. We’re making math club the cool thing to do!
We offer 24 weeks of activities for Grades K-2 and 3-5. Activities are packaged in three 8-week kits called Seasons 1, 2 and 3.
Our kits provide most of the materials needed to run a club, along with math-y take-home items for the kids. Coaches need to provide a few supplies like scrap paper and scissors. To make Crazy 8s the best it can be, our online Coaches’ Area includes step-by-step directions, how-to videos and other resources.
All Crazy 8s partners must apply online, then do a brief phone call with one of our Crazy 8s Ambassadors to review our Honor Code:
- Clubs must meet on a weekly schedule either before or after school ideally for 8 consecutive weeks. We’ll also allow clubs to meet twice weekly, or daily for a 1-week camp.
- Each club should include at least 12 kids, but no more than 16 kids.
- Kids must be grouped Grades K-2, Grades 1-3 or Grades 3-5. Clubs can serve a single grade or a pair of grades within those ranges, but they should not be expanded beyond them.
As part of our charitable mission, Bedtime Math heavily subsidizes the cost of the kit, valued at more than $400.
Crazy 8s kits are available for a contribution of $128 for the first kit of each 8-week Season. That’s just $1 per kid per week. Coaches who commit to multiple Seasons upfront get a bundled discount of $198 for both kits of Seasons 1 and 2, or $268 for Seasons 1, 2 and 3.
