Count on It! This 48HourPrint Customer Is Helping Kids Love Math

Kids deciding early that math isn't for them never really added up for Dr. Marielle Myers. After more than 20 years of classroom experience, she sets out to make early math literacy a fun experience.

Not through tests or worksheets, but through stories.

Inspired by her life, she created Marlee the Mathematician, a little girl who discovers that math lives in everyday moments. For the young readers that meet Marlee on the page, Dr. Myers’ message lands quickly, “Math is already part of your lives, and you absolutely belong in it.”

With eye-catching custom print materials helping to spread the word, the buzz around Marlee is only getting louder!

A New Variable

Dr. Marrielle Myers is an award-winning professor, former public school teacher, international speaker, and a certified math girlie. She took the skills and experience and combined it with her love of stories to change the way math is taught.

She has always seen math as something bigger than numbers. It’s a universal, creative language in its own right, and it deserves its own stories. It’s creative, and it deserves its own stories.



“Math is a language we use every day to make sense of the world around us. After spending more than 20 years as an educator, I saw how many children feared math instead of seeing the joy, creativity, and confidence it can bring, and I knew I wanted to help change that story.”

Enter Marlee the Mathematician.

Marlee, the main character in Dr. Myers’ Marlee Loves Math series, is a joyful, curious little girl who discovered that math is part of everyday life. From counting down to a birthday to noticing patterns around her, she used math to help make sense of her world.

After decades of watching children shy away from something they encounter every day, Dr. Myers is determined to let math show up naturally by meeting young learners in moments they already love and enjoy. She shares, “Marlee is an invitation to see math differently, and a promise that joy and numbers were never opposites to begin with.”

One Less Problem to Solve

Every event Dr. Myers attends is a chance to introduce Marlee the Mathematician to future young “math people”. She wants families, especially kids, to have a warm and welcoming experience.

That starts with showing up prepared, intentional, and her custom print materials are always part of how she does it. Nothing is left to chance. Her custom banners are designed to be bold, colorful, and magnetic enough to capture attention from across the room.

“My pop-up banner and hanging banner are like magnets and draw people to wherever I'm set up! The quality and quick turnaround from 48HourPrint help me show up polished and prepared, leaving a lasting impression that reflects the care I put into my work.”

And her beautiful custom postcards? They go home with people, keeping Dr. Myers and Marlee with them long after the event ends.

“Custom postcards help me extend the joy and professionalism of my brand beyond the moment and into people’s hands. Whether I am at an author visit, community event, or meeting with school leaders, they create an immediate, tangible touchpoint that clearly communicates who I am, what Marlee Loves Math stands for, and how people can stay connected.”

With 48HourPrint delivering excellent print quality, fast turnaround, and a digital proof before every order is finalized, there is one less thing competing for her attention. Because when you’re as busy and focused as Dr. Myers, that level of dependability and professionalism matters.



"Having a reliable printing partner like 48HourPrint allows me to focus my energy on what I love most: teaching, storytelling, and building meaningful connections with children, families, and educators."

Multiplying Marlee’s Impact

Dr. Myers has figured out the equation: meet kids where they are, give them stories and characters they can relate to, and make sure the math talk never stops.

And with every banner, postcard, and story she sends out into the world, the mission keeps growing, and the impact adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts.
