Hello world!

Here’s what I put in my profile, and I guess I’ll put it here too.

I’m a mother of 3 boys, ages 5, 10 and 13, who all attend a small progressive private school.

I have a math/computer bachelor’s degree and an EECS master’s degree. I work part-time as a computer scientist. I also volunteer a few hours a week in my children’s school to help out with their math program. I teach mathematical problem solving to children from 5 to 14 years old, and I coach interested older children who participate in Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle School Students, and MathCounts for Middle School students. I don’t have any formal teacher training, but this is my 5th year doing this, and I’m getting pretty good at it.

I’m here to ramble about my experiences in this role as “math mom”.
