Hope Sullivan
Hello! I am Hope Sullivan, I teach Compacted Math and support Math instruction.
I think math is just a big puzzle. My goal? To make fractions easier to understand than my dog's behavior. When not helping numbers add up, I'm trying to figure out why I have 30 socks but only 15 pairs.
Warning: Expect dad-joke-level math puns!
