We Are Your Partner
Elevating Math Teaching and Learning Across Systems
Math Transformations honors and builds upon the talent and knowledge every teacher and leader brings to the teaching profession. We believe that every student deserves to see themself as a mathematician and to see mathematics as a gateway to their futures. Our passionate team of teachers, math coaches, principals, university professors, and scientists personalize professional learning experiences to support you and your students in elevating math teaching and learning across your systems. We also leverage our strength-based assessment to uncover student strengths, shift mindsets, and increase expectations.
We understand that change takes time and inspiration, that together we have to challenge our own beliefs about what it means to teach and learn mathematics. We understand that the interaction between the teacher and student is the heart of it all, yet all systems and players must be part of the solution. We are your partners in this endeavor. We know how to make these changes. We will meet you and your organization where you are in your development and build on your strengths. We will help you to get the results you desire and to create the mathematics experience every student deserves.

“Andrea and the Math Transformations team are unquestionably the highest quality professional development available to schools to improve math instruction for deep student learning. They expertly combine years of experience in mathematics instruction and adult learning with the ability to meet teachers where they are – supporting, challenging and inspiring educators at all levels to take risks in their teaching and have fun doing it. Teachers love working with them, principals consistently set aside discretionary funds to partner with them, and student achievement in math is on the rise! I cannot recommend Math Transformations highly enough.”
