A Collection of Resources for Mathematics

I LOVE teaching math! About 5 or 6 years ago I took my Additional Qualifications and earned my Math Specialist certification. During that process, I created this blog as part of my Specialist course. I realized that I haven't finished what I started, so I am going to go back to get it done, especially since so much has happened with the pandemic impacting students. Over the next few months, I will be updating and adding new tools, research, games, and information to my blog.
