ABOUT JUDO MATH

Judo Math was developed by Dan Thoene who’s innovate approach to teaching 8th grade mathematics helped significantly raise test scores in the first year he implemented the program at High Tech Middle School in San Diego California.

As a result of the Judo Math program’s success, he has developed a package so that teachers anywhere can easily use the Judo Math technique in their own classrooms. This incredible math program is available to all math teachers who are looking for new, creative ways to motivate students to new heights in mathematics.

Judo Math was recently featured in High Tech High’s UnBoxed: A Journal of Adult Learning in Schools
