This is such a fun show with great production values. I was one of those people who always said, “I’m not a math person”. But when the hosts talk math, I really do enjoy it. I wish I had teachers like them.
SusanB7 · Oct 2022
I’ve never been much of a math guy, but I like learning about the natural and scientific world, and math is an integral part of that. My experience with math as entertainment is that many creators struggle to find a balance between in-depth, interesting discussions and a beginner-friendly level of discourse. These guys have it. Part of it is their expert knowledge, part of it is their clear love of the subject, and the most essential aspect of their achievement is a wide breadth of teaching experience, including elementary-age instruction. It’s an impressive success, but mostly it’s just great to listen to.

I’m so glad I listened to this podcast it has really helped me to understand the whole concept of my 5th grade.5 stars best for people who need help with math. I’m so glad to have been able to learn more about my math skills in school and my grades are improving so I will definitely reach out to a friend and help them, by showing them “The math club”. Amazing stuff 5/5 listens 24/7 365 a good over all show and it’s not just a boring math book you see in math but has jokes and opening schemes that you can see in your head thank you for making this podcast sincerely and appreciated a loving and supportive fan
