Mona Math
Transform Math Class into a Community of Problem Solvers
Support Your Educators to Build Confident Problem Solvers
With PD That Leads to Real Results.
Math Thinkers do better {on tests} than Math Mimickers
math class doesn't have to be painful.
- Are students anxious about math because speed and answers are top priority?
- Are kids convinced they are bad at math, so they don’t care or even try?
- Are teachers frustrated with lack of support for the materials and curriculum they are expected to use?
With our support & customizable PD every student can make significant growth.
I know you want to be a strong, supportive leader for every student, teacher, and family. But juggling countless demands can leave you feeling stretched thin and ineffective in areas you care about most. That’s why I believe supporting teachers is the key to supporting students. With my full-service support, I’ll equip your teachers with the skills and strategies they need to meet every child’s mathematical needs—so you can focus on what matters most.
We offer both package and standalone offerings including hands-on workshops, Learning Labs, & coaching sessions.
“You have been so amazing and I am so grateful!! The teachers and I agree that we would be lost without you!” – Kristina R., The Academy at St. Joan of Arc, Head of School
“Mona made it obvious from day one that she’d be in my corner as a partner and advocate for myself and my students. She really worked *with* me to determine what would work best in my classroom for my students.” – Katie, Kindergarten Teacher
“She motivates teachers and school leaders to create classrooms where students think deeply and independently. Mona’s guidance is an asset to any organization looking to improve math outcomes for students.” – Nora R., Director of Personalize Learning

"Mona Makes Math Make Sense!"
“Working with Mona has made mine and my students’ perspectives of math change completely. What used to be monotonous lessons are now filled with productive struggle, reasoning, critical thinking, problem solving discussions and so much more. Mona’s knowledge of math and classroom experiences have taught me the importance of letting the students take the reigns and lead themselves through the processes to solve. Rather than just knowing the the algorithm, my students can articulate how or why they are doing something in the mathematical process. Meeting with Mona weekly has provided me many opportunities to grow my own math learning and further my development as a math teacher. I cannot recommend working with Mona enough if you also want to see growth within your students and yourself.”
