Your Kid
Your kid might be a math person.
They just haven't found out yet.
Most kids who struggle with math aren't missing ability — they're missing repetition. The Multiplication Bee gives them a high-energy moment to discover what they actually know. And more often than not, kids walk away wanting to practice.
That's the moment this event is designed to create.
The Event
Here's what the event looks like.
Kids compete in age-based rounds, one at a time, answering multiplication facts out loud against the clock. The crowd goes quiet. The emcee builds the moment. Between rounds there's time to regroup — and practice.
The event closes with an all-ages round just for fun — kids and adults side by side. Whether a child watches an adult struggle and sees what's possible, or a kid beats a grown-up and walks away with something new to feel about themselves, that final round is the moment people talk about on the way home.

Lasting Value
They leave with more than a gift bag.
Every participant goes home with the WhatTimesWhat URL — a free, browser-based multiplication practice tool available anytime, on any device, forever. No app to download, no subscription, no cost.
The event plants the seed. The tool is how they come back and prove they've grown.
Convenience
We come to you. You do nothing.
No venue to book. No driving across town. No logistics to manage. We set up in your home, backyard, school multipurpose room, or wherever your group gathers. We handle setup and teardown.
Tax-Deductible
A nonprofit with a mission brings this to your door.
The Multiplication Bee is a community outreach program of the Classical Education Foundation, a Texas 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to making math fluency programs free and accessible to every student. Hosting families make a suggested donation of $299 — fully tax-deductible — to support that mission across North Texas.
Your event funds the work. Every student we reach because of it is the return on that investment.
Suggested donation: $299 · Additional contestants beyond 10: $20 each · Travel beyond 20 miles: $35–50
