Loved teaching, hated when the IEP paperwork went from a few pages back in the 1970s to a small booklet in the 1990s! Now I teach privately, and am busy with my math books and speaking to teachers and parents about the importance of math facts fluency. The books were designed to help children memorize math facts. Lots of practice for special ed students who need that extra practice! My website has tips to teach math facts. www.TwoPlusTwoIsNotFive.com
