Cassidy the Poetic Mathematician

Contact email: CassidySienna@gmail.com

Cassidy the Poetic Mathematician is a Davidson Young Scholar who is passionate about math and poetry.

Cassidy enjoys the Art of Problem Solving classes, including calculus. She has attended Epsilon and MathPath Camps for many years. Cassidy started writing poetry when she was eight, by writing one type of poem every day of April, National Poetry Month. After that, she compiled her poems into a book along with instructions for each type of poem, and published her first book, Roller Coaster, A Kid’s Guide on How to Write Poetry. From that experience, she realized how fun poetry and writing can be, and has written a book every other years since then. She now has four published books – three related to poetry and one novel.

The reason why she combines math with poetry is she simply loves both! There are some people that prefer one over the other, and she is combining them to show that both can be fun in a unique, math-poetry hybrid. She has been teaching poetry workshops since 2016. When Cassidy was in eighth grade, she traveled around the world and taught poetry workshops along the way! She currently leads monthly, free mathematical poetry workshops for the homeschoolers in her community through her non-profit organization, iPoetTree. Through online classes, she wants to expand her reach and help kids all over the world realize that both writing and math can be fun!

From parents and students…

Thanks for running Athena’s– you guys are my refuge as I homeschool my 2 PGs!
Parent Amy C.
The instructors were very positive and cheerful and encouraging in all ways to the students. I found it easier to relax when my child was in the classroom because I felt the instructors were more understanding and accepting of the particular qualities linked to giftedness…[like] dyslexia, dysgraphia, etc.
Parent K.B.
Athena’s was an amazing find for us…He did other online classes, but his weekly hour at Athena’s was his favorite. He really loved his teacher and enjoyed the interaction with other kids in the virtual classroom, which is missing from many online classes. But most importantly, he was engaged intellectually. I highly recommend Athena’s Advanced Academy for highly gifted homeschoolers who want to interact in “class” with gifted students like themselves.
Parent Chris O.
It was smart and fun! Every week there was great homework, and extra that was cool too! I will definitely be sign up for more classes!
Student Z.A.
It’s clear to me that [my daughter’s] experience at Athena’s is only one of two unqualifiedly successful educational experiences she has had. I wish I could just leave her in your hands all the time.
Parent Amanda S.
I am an unexpected homeschooling mom and your classes were [her] first online classes. At first I was very wary that they (really anything online) would be a reasonable solution for her, but they ended up being an overwhelming success.  Athena’s made me realize I can do this whole homeschooling thing…at least for now 🙂
Parent Roz W.
She has loved her experiences with you at Athena’s. They have been the perfect transition from the classroom…She has felt that the Athena’s environment is the best of both worlds; she can still learn with experts and true peers in a classroom, but doesn’t have to spend so many hours of her day to get that experience. She is free to move at her own pace and to pursue other passions and activities with the many hours that have been freed up by being able to learn at home and with Athena’s.… Read more
Parent Kristi H.
It was by-chance that we found Athena’s in our first fledgling month of homeschooling — and we thank our lucky stars! Now in our second year, Athena’s has become the backbone of our curriculum. Not only are the academic classes interesting, challenging and thought-provoking, the community we’ve found is so warm and welcoming. In fact, my 8-year old has decided to forgo a couple of in-person classes because he can’t stand the thought of missing Athena’s!
Parent Deborah W.
What I especially liked about the course was how the teacher presented the information in the webinars. It was all very easy to understand. I also liked the activities and the friends.
Student N.E.
I would like to thank you for helping us in raising our daughter through these years.
Parent Alison C.
