Math with the
Brain in Mind
Making brain science accessible to all teachers.
It’s not rocket science. It’s brain science.
Backed by over 25 years of studying how the brain best learns, I partner with schools to transform their teaching to be aligned with how people actually learn.
I have a passion for helping teachers understand it in a way that is engaging, practical, and relevant to the challenges they face in the classroom every day.

COMING SOON: Building a Positive Math Identity
Emotions drive learning. This is an essential component of understanding how a student’s math identity is closely connected to their math success. How a student sees themselves in relation to math is dynamically constructed in their brain and is constantly changing. Every learner deserves to exist in harmony with mathematics. This book shows you how to make that mantra a reality for all students.
