I have been teaching for over 24 years. I am currently a math coach supporting students and teachers in PreK-5 classrooms in enhancing their math instruction and kids' love of mathematics.
I was a classroom teacher in grades 2-4 and then taught advanced students in Grades 1-5. I know what it is like to spend hours planning engaging lessons. There is always something new to learn or another school expectation to implement. It becomes overwhelming!
If you are anything like me, planning a math lesson with a warm-up, whole-group lesson, differentiated small-group lesson, formative assessment, math tools, and technology… takes hours!
So, I decided to start looking for ways to help teachers plan engaging lessons that don’t take hours.
I also became passionate about helping teachers and students see the beauty in mathematics and develop a growth mindset.
