About the store
I have enjoyed teaching for 20 years and have taught all the core subjects 3rd-8th. My focus for over a decade has been mathematics, and robotics for grades 4 - 8. For 13 years I have collaborated with Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy developing curriculum and coaching a middle school First Lego League team. I have taught undergraduate and graduate classes at The University of Pittsburgh & Carlow University and have mentored university education students since 2000. Recent presentations include: "Using Fantasy Football to Teach Mathematics"- Pittsburgh Association of Independent Schools Conference; and "Using Robots to Teach Mathematics" - National Association of Laboratory Schools International Conference.

Christmas Holiday Tree Cone Math: 4th - 6th Grade
My students LOVE this edible holiday math treat as they explore geometry, measurement, and problem solving! The 4-page student packet is split into 2 parts. In Part 1, students connect the ideas of diameter and radius to a sugar cone. They then create a holiday tree cone from a their sugar cone, a sugar cookie, and frosting - decorating it with M & Ms and sprinkles. In Part 2, students explore more challenging word problems, estimation, and calculations. INCLUDED:~ 4 student pages of Chris

Teaching style
I strive each day to inspire my students to pursue their passions and to impart to them the knowledge and confidence they need to become the artist, the mathematician, the engineer. . . the life-long learner who never stops making connections and positively contributing to the world around them.
