Biography
Theresa R. Fitzgerald has been a fourth grade teacher with the Linden Community Schools since 1992, shortly after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree through the University of Michigan-Flint. She earned her Master's degree in Math/Science Elementary Education through Eastern Michigan University. Theresa has presented math and science workshops and staff development locally, and has been involved in the development of science and math curriculum. Her latest ventures involve increasing the use of technology across the curriculum and developing science activities.
Theresa's love of math and her interest in helping children understand its concepts led to the development of the Math Dictionary for Kids. The need for a math resource to help elementary and middle school children and their parents with terminology and concepts became apparent as Theresa's daughter, Amanda, grew. Developed over a period of about 10 years, its use on a daily basis has helped her students find sustained success in math.
Stress-Free Math is the answer to every frustrated parent/caregiver's problem: helping their children with math homework. This handy guide is meant to help with math from grades 4-9. This is a helpful guide to have on hand in any family library. As a parent who can use a refresher in assisting with many mathematical concepts for my children, I'll definitely be pulling this guide out to make sure my children and I both understand how to tackle those tricky math assignments.
