Not many adults will admit not liking to read, but plenty will cop to hating math and boast they never use the skills they learned in school. And kids these days hate math so much that a full 61 percent middle schoolers say they’d rather take out the garbage than do their math homework. Mathalicious, a 3-year-old creator of innovative math curriculum, wants to solve the problem through videos that make math fun.

The company is hoping to raise enough Kickstarter funds to launch Math52, a weekly video series that features creative applications of the subject. Math52 videos will stay away from the same old word problems and ask questions people actually wonder about: "Do people with small feet pay too much for shoes, and should Nike charge by weight? " The advantage to students is obvious, but the series offers major benefits to teachers, too. The Mathalicious team hopes to raise $164,000 to create the weekly Math52 lessons.
