My books

I’m finishing up my plans for the project and pledge levels for my Word Problems from Literature (2nd Edition) Kickstarter in two weeks. Where did the time go?!

But I need help. Could you please take a few minutes to look over the project page and give me some feedback?

It’s so hard to edit myself because I miss too many mistakes. So having new eyes on the page would be a great help in catching typos and making sure the descriptions make sense and are as clear as possible.

Here’s a screenshot of what you’ll see:

There’s a place to enter comments on the right. Or you can email me directly with anything you want to share.

There’s also a Notification link at the top left corner of the page, for anyone who hasn’t yet signed up for Kickstarter to tell you when the project launches.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Yes, I’d Love To Help. Let’s Go!

Several author friends are planning children’s book Kickstarter campaigns this summer. To spread the news, we’re offering a selection of free books for families:

Check out the promotion

You’ll find some delightful titles here, from cute picture books to chapter books for young readers, touching on science, mythology, fantasy, mystery, and more — plus a couple of printable activity books, too.

Don’t delay! This promo ends on July 17th.

If you have children from preschool to upper-elementary age, I think you’ll find one of these books is just right for them.

Have fun reading with your kids!

Parents and teachers, are you looking for new ways to help your children learn math?

In a math journal, children explore their own ideas about numbers, shapes, and patterns through drawing or writing in response to a question.

Journaling encourages students to develop a rich mathematical mindset. They begin to see connections and make sense of math concepts. They grow confident in their ability to think through new ideas.

All they need is a piece of paper, a pencil, and a good prompt to launch their mathematical journey.

My new book 312 Things To Do with a Math Journal includes number play prompts, games, math art, story problems, mini-essays, geometry investigations, brainteasers, number patterns, research projects, and much more.

These activities work at any grade level, and most can be enjoyed more than once. It doesn’t matter whether your students are homeschooled or in a classroom, distance-learning, or in person. Everyone can enjoy the experience of playing around with math.
