Well hey friend 👋 I’m so glad you found me here!
I’m Kristen, a high school math teacher and instructional coach on a mission to bring math class to life and finally end the constant, “When am I ever going to need this?”

🌎 I’m all about using real-world applications and projects to IGNITE and EXCITE my students. But even more than that, I’m passionate about helping fellow math teachers bring the power of project-based learning into their classrooms.

Connecting with teachers and supporting them in this process is what I live for. But let’s be real—Instagram isn’t always the best place to dive deep.

So consider this more like my IG Away Message.

If you’re looking for free PD, conference presentations, or Facebook Lives, I’ve got you covered!

🎙 Catch me every Tuesday on the Modern Math Teacher Podcast, available on your favorite player or YouTube!

But here’s where the real magic happens: Join me in the Modern Math Teacher Facebook Group! We’ll 💬 chat about everything from project-based learning to assessment design, and so much more.

Let’s connect, share ideas 💡 , and transform our classrooms together.

Just comment GROUP and I’ll send you a DM invite 💌 to join us!

Can’t wait to see you there! ❤️

I know that Project Based Math kicks ass. But don’t take my word for it.

What our alumni 👩🏻‍🎓 are saying….
“I am seeing first hand the student excitement that comes from project-based learning” - Eileen PBMC alumni

“I’m feeling much better about PBL in 40 minutes than in 3 days of general training!” Becky, Kickstart participant

No time for training? Our ready-to-go projects are pretty awesome too.

From our TpT followers 👩‍🏫 … ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Easily the most worthwhile project any of our students will do this year”- Laura, 💰Save for Success

“My students loved this real-world application of linear equations!”- Taylor, 🖼Stained Glass

“Love this project so much. My students have really struggled with quadratics and this is such an amazing way to make the learning hands on and stick!”- Elizabeth, 🚀 Rockets + Real World Quadratics

I 💯 believe that math is so much more than just solving for x.

Math isn’t just a set of procedures to memorize and equations to solve. It’s a powerful way of thinking. 🧠

When you teach students in ways that show math real, relevant and rigorous you ignite 🔥 and excite 🤩 them and unlock the powerful problem solver inside.

If you’re ready to break free from the boxed curriculum 📦 and show students the power of math-make sure you tune into the Modern Math Teacher Podcast 🎙 every Tuesday for today’s best teaching tips and strategies from my classroom to yours!

💬Comment PLAYLIST and I’ll send you a customized playlist with my best episodes!
