Teachers, to start off 2022, I'm offering two free 30-minute virtual appearances. I can talk about writing, share a preview of I Survived in progress, or whatever you would like. No limit to the number of students, can do grades 3-8. RT to enter. I will notify winners 1/10.

The longer I have been involved in math education, the more I need to practice these three rules: Stay curious - Always be willing to learn new things. Stay humble - Always be willing to unlearn things you thought were true, but aren’t. Do everything in love.
