Additional biographical information

Although I have only taught grades K-5, I have always enjoyed doing math problems specifically involving one or two variables. This has led me to the desire to creating a store that involves engaging activities with those such problems integrated in them. I hope you and your students find the same satisfaction in these activities as I do. The ultimate goal is to being the Elementary fun to Middle School Math. Enjoy the Variable Soup!
