About the store

Experience

We’re Deserae and Michelle—two passionate teachers who believe mastering math facts shouldn’t be boring or stressful. Our mission is to give teachers the Fact Fluency Fix they’ve been looking for with engaging, low-prep resources that make learning meaningful. From addition to division, every brochure brings confidence, clarity, and a little classroom magic under each flap!

Teaching style

Our teaching style is rooted in engagement, structure, and purpose. We believe students learn best through meaningful, hands-on practice that builds confidence step by step. Every resource we create blends rigor with fun—helping students master standards while teachers feel supported and inspired.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Our shining teacher moment came the day we tried something different. We turned a simple worksheet into a foldable brochure, and everything changed. Students who once dreaded math were suddenly engaged, confident, and excited to learn. They weren’t just memorizing facts anymore; they were understanding them. Watching that transformation is what still fuels us today.

My own education history

Deserae has a Masters' Degree from California Baptist University and Michelle has a Masters' Degree from the University of California, Riverside.
