Pam Harris is a mom, a former high school math teacher, a university lecturer, an author, and she wants to change the way we view and teach mathematics.  While Pam was teaching high school math, her four children grew and mathematized their world in a way she had never imagined. “I had always bought into the myth that math is a disconnected set of facts to memorize, with rules and procedures to mimic.  I now call that fake math.”  Pam’s own kids, research, and experiences teaching real math have shown her what it means to mathematize and to support learners in their own journeys.  Real math is thinking mathematically, not just mimicking what a teacher does on the board. You can shift your brain from using rote memory to mathematizing.   Pam helps teachers make this shift for themselves, and helps teachers teach in a way that supports students to learn real math.
