Hello, there. I am an educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. My passion is mathematics at the elementary and middle levels. In all of my years of instruction in the public school classroom, the biggest challenges that I have found to student success is computational fluency (math fact knowledge and speed), number sense (reasoning and relationships within numbers and number patterns), and problem solving (real world applications of mathematics).
My goal here is to offer assistance to you in speaking the language of mathematics, which we lovingly call Mathanese. Whether you are a student, a parent, or even a teacher colleague, my resources are here to assist you in becoming fluent in Mathanese (the language of mathematics) and being able to understand the content being taught in school.
When you review my materials, please post comments to ask questions, start discussions, and give feedback. In addition to my blog articles with visual examples, I plan to include video tutorials, as well. Please share the site with your friends and colleagues and follow me on social media. If you have topics that you would like me to cover, please let me know by interacting with me. If you are interested in Mathanese swag, feel free to check out the MathaneseCreations Etsy store.
My family and I hope that you find these resources useful and beneficial. Please let me know how my resources have helped you by sharing success stories. I love to hear about celebrations when it all finally clicks and you start speaking Mathanese!
Eric Hadden (Mr. H.)
I Speak Mathanese.
