This past week, I visited two educational supply stores. I drove south to School Crossing in Colorado Springs, and finally had a chance to meet Sherrie, owner of the very busy store that was filled that day with lots of teachers and parents. Later in the week, I drove north to Windsor, CO to Knowledge Bound, another successful teacher and parent supply store. This was my third visit to Ginger’s store. During past visits, I had given presentations on teaching math facts, and individualizing a math facts program.
I had a chance to talk with many teachers, math coaches, and parents from public, private, charter, and home schools. I always enjoy showing off the strategies and tricks to teach math facts, and signing copies from two of my books, Two Plus Two Is Not Five and Five Times Five Is Not Ten.
Teacher Created Resources, the publisher of my first book, How to Teach Math Facts, was also present for the two stores’ customer appreciation days.
