Transform Math Class into a Community of Problem Solvers
imagine if students didn't guess, give up, or groan about word problems!
tell me if this sounds like you...
- Do your students freeze when they see a word problem?
- Do they forget all the strategies you've taught them when it's time to apply them in a word problem?
- Are you a K-5 teacher?
word problems can be an opportunity for students to joyfully problem solve,
and I'll show you how!
During this free mini-workshop you’ll learn…
📒 How to get every single student engaged in problem solving, every day.
📒 How to structure your lessons every day to maximize the impact on student learning
📒 Small tweaks to increase student participation, and minimize the groaning & giving up.

an elementary teacher turned coach who used to think teaching math was all about getting students to follow the steps. But once I started listening closely to their thinking, I realized math could be a space for curiosity, connection, and powerful problem solving.
Now, I coach educators across the country and help them build inclusive, student-centered math classrooms where every learner has a voice. I’m also the author of Word Problem Workshop: 5 Steps to Creating Classrooms of Problem Solvers — a teacher-friendly guide packed with practical 5 step routine that transforms word problems into a meaningful routine for deep mathematical thinking.
