Arithmetickles is a one-of-a-kind, interactive, math show school assembly that involves students in the learning process. Many youngsters have difficulty identifying the connection between classroom math and their daily lives. This may cause them to view math as irrelevant, too difficult, or just plain boring.But Arithmetickles school assembly math shows shatter this notion with fun-filled math games that provide examples of how to use textbook math in everyday situations.
Through a skillful blending of audience participation, comedy, mime and theatrical effects, the fast-paced math games and skits in Arithmetickles school assemblies capture the attention of children in grades K-8. Age-appropriate material is set in a “kid-friendly” math show format of games, puzzles, scenarios and storytelling, affording students a chance to explore and resolve math problems creatively. By using elements of highly creative children’s theater and encouraging students to succeed on stage in front of their peers, Arithmetickles also helps increase overall confidence and self-esteem and demonstrates how cool math can be.
Original, thought provoking, and always spontaneous, Arithmetickles, a cultural arts, enrichment based, school assembly show, is designed to help students realize that math is nothing to be afraid of and that learning math (through math games) can be fun!

Puzzles, skits and Math Magic combine to stimulate the natural curiosity of this grade level and to get students thinking about other ways in which math affects their lives. Activities include “Island Survivor” in which the entire audience must find the logical (and mathematical!) way to save people crossing a bridge in a hurricane before the bridge collapses (based on time, speed and distance) and “Vacation Investigation” in which student volunteers become one person who has to remember all answers and use logic, percentages, and simple formulas to solve the vacation mystery. Other cultural arts based math activities include “Arithmetickle Tac Toe” that incorporates algebra and geometry and “Nine Days in One Second” that uses math magic.
