Before my STEAM session at the education service center in San Angelo, TX, I am going to share my instructional strategies with Connie Neal, Program Director of Special Programs at Region 15 ESC, and her colleagues at 9:30 on July 14th. It is going to be a huge day: math in the morning and STEAM in the afternoon. I hope to see you at one of my sessions!

Jen Conti, Data & Outreach Specialist at the PATINS Project, informed me that Slide-A-Round Math Manipulatives will be featured in May 2024 on the PATINS Project social media outlets.

I am looking forward the opportunity to help many students across the state of Indiana!

It is important to note that the PATINS Project has some of my math manipulatives available in their lending library.
