Math is more than solving equations. Gillian's workshops, programs & resources nurture children’s emotional intelligence and inquiry skills by engaging in math through nature, gardening, woodworking, baking, cooking, homestead skills, entrepreneurship, and playful, experiential learning rather than passive task completion.
