About the store
I have been working as a math coach and consultant for Math Solutions, a group started by Marilyn Burns (my hero!). Before that, I taught 1st, 2nd 4th, 5th, and 6th grades over the course of 12 years. My classroom was fun and engaging... a safe and happy space for kids to learn and share. I am especially passionate about elementary math. Over the years, I have collected and conducted research, and I currently provide professional development workshops and coaching for teachers. I work hard to ensure that all my students feel confident and happy at school. <img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/b7/9b/40/b79b40af6fef7e1f443c9b1d6a528e89.jpg" alt="b79b40af6fef7e1f443c9b1d6a528e89.jpg" />

Teaching style

My approach to elementary math is hands-on, concept-based learning. Kids should create their own understanding of math concepts through exploration with manipulatives, drawings, and discussion. I believe that ALL students are mathematicians. <img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/60/79/7a/60797a970aa4c0b64f1922aa6907eaee.jpg" alt="60797a970aa4c0b64f1922aa6907eaee.jpg" />
