About the store
I was a middle school math teacher for 33 years and spent my last two years as the 8th grade math specialist for our district. Since retiring in 2024 (yay!), I work as an educational consultant which allows me to work with teachers "coaching" them and passing on everything I've learned about teaching middle school students in my loooong career! I've always loved creating engaging instructional materials for my students and nothing makes me happier than sharing them with you!
