Kirsten Bohl coordinates a children’s book list, Mathical, inspiring kids from preschool, elementary, middle, and high school to see themselves as joyful and energized readers and thinkers in relation to mathematics in their own lives and in the everyday world.
The prize is organized by the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath). SLMath desires to offer a continuous pathway for very young children through adults from historically excluded groups to join a wider mathematics community from a place of joy, authenticity, and belonging.
