About Me

Picture
Lorraine Baron



I am an educator and musician - most of my career was spent in the secondary mathematics classroom teaching grades 8 to Calculus 12. I also taught preK and elementary grades. Then I had the chance to do my Doctor of Education - really hard! - but so good for my brain :) 

In 2011, I began a new  but much shorter career, as a university professor, where I taught methods courses - secondary, middle, and elementary mathematics education.

​Now (Since Mid-October 2017), I spend all my free time making music! :) . Visit me at YouTube or on Spotify :)

How we teach math does make a difference for our students' experiences; so I have decided to collect some of the resources I used and developed over time, and post them here for anyone to use.

It's all free - you are worth it!

Keep on teaching and singing (OH and dancing!) :)
Lorraine

p.s.  just for fun, my husband, John, and I decided to take on a little bit of mountain hiking last summer - it was quite hard!  The photo of me above is from a hike we did up Mount Cokely on beautiful Vancouver Island.  We also climbed Mount Arrowsmith!  Yikes - that was something.  The knees didn't work for quite a few days afterward ;)
