About the store
Hi there! I’m Mike, the teacher behind ChiliMath resources and the creator of ChiliMath.com.
I’ve been passionate about math (and helping others make sense of it) for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve made it my mission to create clear, engaging resources that help students build confidence and truly get math, whether they’re learning in the classroom or at the kitchen table.
I know how busy and overwhelming teaching can be—because I’ve been there. That’s why I do my best to create materials that are not just effective, but also easy to use and ready to go. My goal is to make your day a little less stressful and your students' learning a whole lot more meaningful.
Thanks so much for stopping by and being part of the ChiliMath community. I’m so glad you’re here!

Teaching style
My teaching style focuses on helping students become problem solvers and lifelong learners. I expose them to a variety of problems on the same topic or skill, ranging in difficulty, to build confidence and critical thinking. Whenever necessary, I provide step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and illustrations to make concepts clearer. My lessons are designed to be practical and conversational, making them approachable and less intimidating for students of all ages.
