Most of my work happens through Math for Love, the organization I cofounded and where I’m Creative Director. We’re devoted to transforming how math is taught and learned, bringing to all of our work a deep understanding of mathematics and a deep regard for the students, teachers, and families involved. Math For Love provides professional development for teachers, consulting and support for schools, and innovative curricula to address the complexity of providing an exciting, challenging, and supportive math education for all students. We are the creators and distributors of the award-winning board game Prime Climb (ages 10 and up), and the early numeracy card deck Tiny Polka Dot (ages 3-8). Check out more at Math For Love.
