This is where it all began. In 2008, Clark was asked to teach PBL Math but found the available resources lacking. He created immersive, scaffolded projects that built math skills step by step and connected them to real-world problem solving. The result: over 100 21st Century Math Projects now used by teachers worldwide. Each project includes multiple assignments that leads to a final product or experience, and a few of the preliminary tasks are shared below.

Clark Creative Education is on a mission to make classrooms more joyful for students and teachers.

Mr. Clark is a 15-year public school veteran who’s served as a STEM teacher and principal across elementary, middle, and high schools. He’s passionate about designing engaging, rigorous lessons that push students to think critically and solve real-world problems.

Mrs. Clark is an early childhood expert and speech-language aficionado with a knack for turning content into something irresistibly cute and incredibly effective. Together, they have six kids and a shared love for making learning come alive.

With the help of their brilliant team of content experts, editors, and artists, they’ve created more fun, engaging, and relevant curriculum than is probably recommended by medical professionals—and it’s a habit they just can’t kick. [There might be a kid out there jonesing for a babirusa resource… and yes, they’ve got that covered too.]
