We are excited to be able to share the free TenMarks Math program and Summer program in our final webinar for the 2014-15 school year before we take our summer break, and hope you will join us to learn all about these amazing resources for teachers and students. Whether you are a teacher, parent, homeschooler, tech integration specialist, administrator, or student you will find these resources invaluable for all grade levels, Pre-K-High School! Did you know that kids lose 2-3 months of math each summer. Stop the loss & get ahead of the curve with this amazing summer math program from TenMarks. It is personalized for each child and includes diagnostic assessment that individualizes the program and on-demand instruction, video lessons and hints for students. Our special guest presenter, Catherine Wood Hill, the Senior Marketing Manager for TenMarks, will guide us through the features and resources and will be able to answer all of our questions about how to take full advantage of both the school year program and the summer program!

Join us Saturday, June 13th when Colleen King will be back to share her latest updates to the Math Playground including new games, iPad apps and videos. Colleen is the publisher of Math Playground, a website for elementary and middle school students, and the developer of Thinking Blocks, a series of iPad apps that teach children how to model and solve word problems. Colleen has been an educator and math consultant in the Boston area for 20+ years and has worked with students from preschool to college. She is the co-founder of two STEM programs, a hands-on science lab and a math enrichment center. Colleen is very passionate about math education and is always looking for new and innovative ways to engage students.

Colleen King created Math Playground in 2002 for students in her classes who needed a fun way to practice math facts. Since then, Math Playground has grown to include a wide variety of math topics, from problem solving and mathematical art to real world math and thinking games. When she’s not developing new activities for Math Playground, she teaches at a mathematics learning center. She enjoys sharing math strategies with other educators and has presented her work at conferences like NCTM and ISTE. Whenever she has free time, she can be found playing with her Golden Retrievers, practicing drums with her band, or exploring New England on her bicycle.
