Welcome to RootedInMath
Math is not an inherent ability. Like a plant, we need the right environment, nutrients, and tools to grow in learning. And like a plant, we need to get the important stuff in the roots. Being rooted in math means nurturing the fundamentals even as we work on growing out the leaves.
Learn Math
Visit my Math Pages to learn specific subjects, and read my blog for my thoughts on math, teaching, and more.
Private Tutoring
I offer concept-based tutoring sessions to promote understanding the math behind the numbers. Conceptual understanding is the tool students need to solve real-world problems as well as textbook ones.
About Me

Math teaser: You have an unlimited supply of water, a large drain, and two buckets: a 3-gallon bucket and a 5-gallon bucket. What would you have to do to end up with exactly 4 gallons in the large bucket?
A Growth Mindset
Everyone can learn math. This website is an attempt to create a space for that learning to happen. No confusing textbooks, no long theoretical paragraphs in small print. Just simple, clear explanations.
