For over ten years, Box Cars & One-Eyed Jacks has worked successfully with school districts, teachers, parents and children to provide math and language workshops. Created by the award winning and best selling authors Joanne Currah and Jane Felling, and taught by a team of highly qualified and diverse workshop leaders, Box Cars & One-Eyed Jacks workshops help teachers improve mathematics and language instruction through games as a teaching strategy.

The Box Cars team brings innovation, inspiration, and excellence to their workshops, offering expertise in early childhood, elementary, junior high, high school, special education and second language instruction.

The Award Winning resources spanning Kindergarten to Grade 12 are written by teachers for teachers, parents and children. The resources have been approved as a teacher resource by various Departments of Education because of the strong links to the Mathematics Curriculum and the N.C.T.M. Standards.

The authors have created over 700 games that focus on thinking, reasoning, and problem solving. The games incorporate the use of motivating manipulatives (cards, dice and special multi-sided dice) and provide opportunities for students to write and talk about their learning.
