À propos de l'auteur

Kelly Darke is a math educator dedicated to sharing the joy and wonder of math with children, parents, and teachers. For Kelly, learning math once meant performing algorithms and memorization-but her world expanded when she started working as a graduate student for the Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) at Michigan State University (MSU). CMP's inquiry-based middle school curriculum inspired Kelly to see mathematics in a new light-one full of deep connections, coherence, and sense-making. After graduating from MSU, Kelly studied to become a mathematics teacher educator at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). She worked for two more K-8 curriculum projects and studied current research into math teaching and learning. After earning her Doctorate of Arts in Mathematics from UIC, Kelly taught mathematics to future K-12 teachers. After her youngest child was born, Kelly took a short haitus from teaching; however she continued to share her love of mathematics with her own children through picture books. Kelly started a blog sharing "math book magic" - stories that spark curiosity and delight for children. Kelly's blog, www.fairymathmother.com, soon grew to include math games, art projects and problems, in addition to reviews of magical books. The Geometree is her first picture book. She hopes that children, teachers and parents will find it magical. Kelly lives in Michigan with her husband and three children. She currently teaches middle school math and continues to spread math magic online through her blog and her social media accounts, X and Instagram: @kellydarkemath.
