About:
Johnnie's
Math Page is meant to be a window onto the world of worthwhile math
activities available for children on the web. A great
number of websites offer math activities for children but too
many are unengaging to children or, just as importantly, have too
little math content. The sites I have collected should present
good solid math that engages kids. The organization of these
links is
meant for parents, teachers and tutors so that they may easily find the
math that matters most to the children they are teaching.
The original
Johnnie's Math Page was created in 2005. I created it
to support my math coaching work for teachers in Pajaro Valley Unified
School District in California. I taught elementary school for a number
of years, mostly fifth grade. I became interested in mathematics
teaching and learning through the California Math Project. For the last
ten years I have been a mentor teacher in mathematics for elementary
school teachers. During this time, I completed my Master's
work in Curriculum and Teacher Education at Stanford University, and
continued graduate work in math education. I work at an
international school in Europe where I continue to teach math to
children and to support others to teach math well.
