MathCanada.ca is a family owned and operated business that has been serving Canadian  home educators since 1989.  Our passion is to see young people grow into adults who are critical thinkers and problem solvers. We began focusing on math in the early 1990’s. as we found that so many children and adults struggled with mastering the math concepts. As you begin to use the Math-U-See products our goal is to help produce confident problem solvers who enjoy the study of math so they can apply what they learn in everyday situations.

Each of the Demme Learning products that we sell encourage children to explore and learn side-by-side an engaged parent. The parent’s role may be as the primary instructor or as a supplemental instructor in their child’s education. We recognize that engaged parents are crucial to a child’s success in becoming lifelong learners.

Jacki Knight

Jacki has been involved in home education since 1988 and educated her three children through high school.  She found, at that time, there were few resources that were designed specifically to help the home educating parent in Canada and began her business in 1989.  Through extensive research, trial and error she found products that helped her meet her goals developing and fostering critical thinking, problem solving skills and a love of learning.  Jacki found that discovery, experiential, hands on learning not only engaged children but also saw them develop a mastery understanding of the concept or topic being taught. 

The office today is a busy hub as her daughter-in-laws work as well as home educate her seven grandchildren during the work week.

Jacki has supported, trained and encouraged home and school educators across Canada and in other nations, as a conference speaker, author, home education consultant, and the authorized Canadian Distributor for Math-U-See, Spelling You See and the AIM program.  She shares her experiences candidly both the good and bad in order to exhort, support and encourage families and teachers in the educating of their children/students to reach their fullest potential.
