In the last few years, the United States educational system has failed to produce high math scores. The land of the free has fallen behind many developed countries in reading and math – a fact that does not sit well with many Americans. One such concerned man decided to take matters into his own hands no less than seven years ago. Dr. Don Crawford founded Rocket Math in 2009 to market his supplemental math curriculum that teachers can use to support their other teaching strategies. Most recently Balefire Labs awarded Rocket Math with the Best EdApp of the Year for a pair of apps: Rocket Math Addition & Rocket Math Multiplication.
