Curiosity grows here

We make math accessible, engaging, and empowering.

Who are we?

Common Roots is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping students discover their own love for math. We use hands-on workshops, challenging problems, unusual puzzles, and fun games to create learning experiences based on real world activities. This exposes them to a different side of math and allows their creativity to shine. All of our instructors are in college or high school, and they are energetic, relatable people who are very passionate about making things as fun as possible for students.
