I began as a high school math teacher, moved to middle school, and then to elementary school to learn about how young children make sense of math. I love thinking about how to uncover math for kids. I blog about lessons I teach at www.marilynburnsmath.com.

Show PostThe more I think about, this might be a "guilty as charged" situation. Yeah, the math is cool, but what impresses me (and makes a diff for children) is whether they can see the cool math. That's a design challenge, and it can even work with "boring" math.
