Hi, I’m a person who loves to help students succeed at math.
I have been tutoring for 19 years now, having been a classroom teacher before that. In my tutoring I have worked with a wide range of students with math learning disabilities. The challenge has been exciting, and my greatest thrill is finding a new way to help a student grasp a difficult area of math.
Through tutoring I have gained the inspiration that led me to write the Parents Choice Award-Winning Algebra Survival Guide, and I continue to create new products for math education.
By checking out my blog you will get new information on teaching approaches and products that help students reach success in math.

I’ve been following your ideas for years…and like to pass them on to the new educators in our field. Keep up the good work.

MariaD on Mathematics 24X7 is studying Social Mathematics and has asked if anyone knows of a site where children discuss mathematics socially.
I remembered that you used to have a site for homeschoolers with a problem of the month that children would write in to and offer solutions to problems.
Do you find that children and teens discuss mathematics socially?

Josh, I would like to talk about your work in an ongoing collection about social math. I am yet to find a good medium for “containing” this distributed conversation about “Math 2.0.” Probably podcast series would work well eventually. Meanwhile, I am keeping the collection in a slide show: http://www.naturalmath.com/index.php?option=com_jd-wp&Itemid=88888917&p=92
How can I put your network of people and activities in a slide? It is quite distributed. I can just name it “Josh Rappaport’s network” and you the node, and make a collage of your projects and sites.
- What is the “central” link you’d like me to use?
- Which 5-6 sites and projects would you feature?

Your book, Algebra Survival Guide has helped me get through 6th and now 7th grade. Algebra is a lot easier the way you teach it in the book [Q&A], and the way you only have a few problems per lesson is really nice for someone like me. I have to learn, but I don’t need 500 problems! The board game in the back is awesome too. Just keep writing, Just keep writing…more and more math textbooks…so I can get through 8th grade too!

When we were homeschooling years ago, you were one of our favorite resources for learning math.
Thank you so much for helping so many people all these years.
