About the store
As a young mother, I taught my three children at home for 11 years before going back to school and earning my credentials to teach. I have been teaching in public schools for over 4 years, and my specialty is eighth grade mathematics. Prior to homeschooling, my career was engineering, which I often draw upon to illustrate lessons in the math classroom.

I Hate Math book
When I respond to the question, "What subject do you teach?", people always exclaim, "I hate math!". For this reason, I wrote this cute book that explains a few simple ways in which we all use math in life. My daughter-in-law provided the illustrations for me, and students are often amazed at her talent. This book is great for an introduction to a class or just a quick reminder that we all need math to succeed in life.

Experience

Teaching style
My teaching style revolves around the interests and needs of my students. I use various types of projects to demonstrate the uses and process of mathematics in the classroom. As a teacher of eighth graders, I try to include the subject of food in many of my projects, since these young teens can always relate to food, the one subject that is ever on their minds. In summary, I mostly use a project-based style of teaching.
