About the store
My work draws on 17 years of math teaching experience in rural, urban, public & private schools, mostly working with middle school students in a progressive preK-8 school where I developed many intergrade math explorations.
I currently teach workshops for teachers, develop place-based math activities for museums, community farms and other public spaces, teach algebra at a community college, and work with individual students to support their curiosity and mastery.
