Rinku is a Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Toronto, and a Scientist-Biostatistician at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto, Canada. As a mom of two children, math has always been a fun part of their life, and good math questions have led to many interesting dinner table family discussions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she started creating fun math word problems for her children and very recently has started sharing these problems, along with video solutions on Instagram. Questions cover topics in grades 4 through 12, however these problems can be enjoyed by anyone!
The goal is to encourage math to be a fun family activity. At times, kids will also create and share their own math word problems, which will be posted on the site for everyone to work on.
Let's start talking more about math and let's do this together!
