Hi! My name is Michele, and I absolutely love talking about Elementary Math! My passion has developed into helping both parents and teachers get a better understanding of what their young children are learning in school each week in math class.

As a former elementary teacher, my desire to help parents, students, and teachers understand foundational math topics grew into roles that took me beyond the classroom. I became an instructional math coach, online tutor, K–5 math curriculum developer, and writer. I continue to share my support throughout this website and blog, as well as with over 250 elementary math tutorials, on my YouTube channel, Mathbell.
