About the store
Hi there! I’m a former high school math teacher who spent years convincing teens that math isn't out to get them. I'm certified to teach grades 6–12, and I’ve always been passionate about helping students make meaningful connections.
These days, I channel that experience into creating math resources that make teaching easier and learning more fun. Whether you’re looking for review games to boost engagement, materials to support struggling students, or ready-to-use resources to streamline your planning—I’ve got you covered!
Thanks for checking out my corner of TPT—I’m so glad you’re here! 😊

Additional biographical information
I chose The Math Tryangle because every problem has a first step, and that first step is simply to try. Math can feel tricky, but with a positive mindset and a willingness to give it a go, every challenge becomes manageable. My goal is to make learning math approachable, fun, and encouraging, one “tryangle” approach at a time.
