ThinkFun offers individual games for free play, game sets for group activities, and now, Brain Labs: structured programs that use game play to teach these skills to students grades 3 and up.

Paul Dry Books has republished three of Lillian Lieber's books on mathematics:

• The Education of T.C. MITS: What Modern Mathematics Means to You
• Infinity: Beyond the Beyond the Beyond
• Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Lillian Lieber was the head of the Department of Mathematics at Long Island University. She wrote a series of lighthearted and well-respected math books in the 1940s, including those listed above, and Mits, Wits & Logic. Her husband, Hugh Gray Lieber, was head of the Department of Fine Arts at Long Island University and illustrated many of his wife's books.

Jennifer and Lee offer elementary and middle school mathematics resources, and plan to add science and social studies resources soon.
