Natural Math: Workshops

Hi! I am Maria Droujkova, creator of Natural Math®. My M.S. is in Applied Mathematics, and my Ph.D. is in Mathematics Education. For the last ten years I've been supporting people who want to learn or help others learn mathematics. The Natural Math® program focuses on advanced, deep, and personally meaningful mathematics. This work addresses children, families and parent groups, academic researchers and practitioners. You can participate in an innovative study, have a thought-provoking, active workshop at your group's gathering, treat campers to a fun-filled math day, or get consultations for a math-anxious child or a gifted six year old dreaming of algebra. Welcome, and let us work together!
