Math teacher and erstwhile author of geeky-chic YA. She/her. Untangler of brain-knots and worker of yarn. STITCHING SNOW and SPINNING STARLIGHT are books I wrote once upon a time.

Someday I really would like to get back into writing. For what purpose or to what end, who knows? But I miss allowing my brain that gear shift.
Is there any better feeling than successfully fixing a knitting mistake (esp without having to frog)? I learned crochet first & knitting felt like learning to tightrope walk by comparison, so now when I manage to fix something from rows back, I feel super-powered. 😎 #knitsky

Adventures in Teaching Accelerated Math:

“Which came first, pi or pie?”

“Why do we need Greek letters in our math on top of regular letters?”

“Did they name them pies BECAUSE they’re circles and that relates to pi?”

“What do other countries use for variables?”

Not sure anything beats the feeling of chatting with a former student from your early days of teaching and discovering you actually did something right way back then.
