I love math.

Hi. I am Rachael, and I love creating resources that help you inspire a love of math in students.

Rachael is a life-long math enthusiast who loves helping students and teachers discover a love for math. She has a master’s degree in mathematics education from the University of Missouri. She has served as a math tutor for K-12, math teacher, and math coach, and she presents at math conferences.

She has developed an approach to teaching math where students discover concepts, problem solve, collaborate, and make sense of the math. She started Rise over Run to create engaging math activities that help students develop conceptual understanding. She provides online professional development to math teachers through Grassroots Workshops. Rachael knows that creativity and math are intertwined. Her bulletin boards and classroom doors have become math teacher favorites for providing meaningful classroom decor.

She loves creating engaging, meaningful math lessons and learning the most impactful methods for teaching math. She has a passion for helping teachers teach their students the “why” behind the math.
