Welcome

Welcome to my new site Michelle's Math 4 the Mind.  These are exciting times in math education with the Next Generation Standards (Common Core Standards) being adopted by almost all states.  This is our opportunity to teach math for understanding, application, and higher level thinking.  I'm so excited to share ideas of how we can make this vision a reality in classrooms across the United States.

Making this vision for mathematics a reality is my goal and mission.
I do this by working with students and teachers. I facilitate professional learning opportunities in Elementary and Middle School Mathematics and facilitates NSF Mathematics Reform.
