10 Years of Math Geek Mama: A Celebration!

Hi there fellow math geeks! January 2025 marks 10 years of writing and creating in this little corner of the internet. As I reflect on the last 10 years, I cannot help but be humbled and deeply grateful for the ways I’ve been able to serve, connect with and partner with teachers and parents from around the globe. Because of you and your encouragement and support of the work I do, I am still here! I’m still writing, creating and collaborating, constantly learning new ways to reach and engage today’s math students. I am not anyone special, just a passionate human educator, who desires to help other passionate educators make math meaningful, accessible and FUN for kids of all ages.

So THANK YOU for the hard work you do each and everyday in the lives of your children and students!

Now to CELEBRATE! To celebrate 10 years, I’ve got lots of goodies to share below.

First, you’ll find the TOP 10 articles that I’ve written and shared over the last 10 years.

Then, you’ll be able to enter my 10 years GIVEAWAY.

Lastly, you can snag a coupon code for $10 off ANY resource in my shop!
