Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
-Margaret Mead
What is mathematics? It is only a systematic effort of solving puzzles posed by nature.

Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding.

Kelly Ann is a dream of a teacher with the gift of knowing how to reach and teach young children. She plans engaging activities that are as fun as they are full of meaningful learning and growth. As parent to a very shy Kinder student, I can say with unwavering confidence, that KellyAnn supports the whole child.

Kelly Ann reimagines math education into daily practices that build foundational skills for problem solving and number literacy. She is intentional in her approach and all of the information is clear and concise for educators/parents. Best of all, engages all learners (including me) with an upbeat attitude that shines through her love of math and sharing a depth of knowledge.

Kelly has over a decade of educational experience working with kindergarten age children. She is also called upon by UCLA as a subject matter expert in teaching math to this age group. I believe it is this combination of experience and academic rigor that has made her the world class educator that she is in this field.
-Dr Jo Webber
Kelly Ann's explanations and easy to follow resources help me be a better parent educator to my child. I feel confident exploring math with my child in ways I didn't think I could before experiencing Kelly Ann's approach. I now have math conversations everywhere- in Costco, in the car, at a restaurant, or anywhere math presents itself.
