Hello world!

Welcome To Zenned Math!

When we think of the word Zen we think of a calm, relaxed state of mind. Those are not typically the emotions that are felt around Math. Math is usually linked to stress, doubt, and anxiety. That is true for students, parents, and teachers as well. So I decided to create a company that helps teachers and students hit the reset button on their view of Math and to (dare I say it) find joy in it.

Anxiety is contagious, but so is calm

My Math Mission

My goal with Zenned Math is to provide support to staff members, through professional development workshops, coaching, resources, webinars, and online courses.

The blog section of this website is where you can find the best teaching practices you can incorporate in your classrooms, the latest and greatest math ideas, and links to resources.

The resource section of this website you can find will provide you with activities and tools I’ve created. The resources are not the typical Teacher Pay Teacher worksheets which have cute fonts and are super colorful. I believe that content is more important than cuteness. My goal is to create resources that are effective and researched based.

The purpose of Zenned Math is to have students, teachers, and parents believe we are all mathematicians. My aim is to support you with that. Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

On September 30, 2022, I was scheduled to present at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics annual conference in Los Angeles, California. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend. But my co-presenter Robert Kaplinsky took on the presentation for us: 5 Struggles Your Foster Students Wished You Knew. This was a passion project for us because we both came through the foster care system.

We had originally intended to present together in September 2020, but the pandemic had other plans. So we recorded my part as well as added in Jessica Jones’ perspective. We recorded and are sharing this presentation with the hope that it could live on and continue to benefit foster youth. We appreciate you making time to watch and share your learnings.

Robert also provided a handout you can download. It’s a one-page PDF version of the takeaways to share with your colleagues here.
