AboutHi! My name is Nicola. In 2003, after working as a K-5 classroom teacher and Numeracy Consultant for 19 years in South Australia, the opportunity arose for me to travel to the United States to work as a math consultant in New York City schools. Roll forward seven years and I am still here and learning new things every day from the wonderful teachers and students that I work with.This website had its beginnings in March, 2010. Initially intended as a digital file cabinet, or place to store the resources I use in my consulting work, it rapidly evolved into a place for sharing math activities and resources with the teachers I work with, as well as many other educators around the globe. All materials and activities on the site are designed to support the Common Core State Standards and are based on the belief that effective mathematical learning is best achieved when students are given frequent opportunities to develop their own problem solving strategies, to pose questions, and to engage in mathematical inquiry through the use of open-ended tasks. I hope you’ll explore the math activities and resources, find something useful, and come back often as new activities and resources will be added on a regular basis. Thanks for visiting!
