Marilyn Burns has worked in the field of mathematics education for over 50 years. Along the way, she has authored a number of books for children (including The I Hate Mathematics! Book) and professional development books for their teachers. Since January 2015, Burns has also authored a regular blog about mathematics education. Here, Burns shares instructional ideas, classroom activities, and her own reflections on teaching. Mathematics teachers and tutors can browse previous blog entries by topic, including Assessment, Fractions, Real World Problems, and Video Clips. Most of these resources and ideas will be of interest to elementary and middle school educators, but many of these ideas could also be adapted for Adult Basic Education (ABE) classrooms as well. In addition, parents and caretakers of children, along with youth workers and youth librarians, may also be interested in this blog; many of Burns's ideas involve games and could be used to engage young learners in both formal and informal educational settings.
