So much more than a podcast, this is a gateway to an innovative, supportive learning community! Christina is incredibly generous with her energy and expertise, and in her gentle, positive, approachable manner, inspires me to improve my math education practice. Her annual (free!) Virtual Summit,...Read full review »

I have followed Christina and the Virtual Math Summit for a few years and I always came away with great ideas. When school closed in March and the Number Sense 101 course opened early I decided it was the perfect time to go a lot deeper into my teaching practices. I am so glad I did. I joined as...Read full review »

I love this podcast because it reminds educators how children think and because she does it and an easy efficient way. I feel along the way teaching programs have tried to cram so much in that they forgot to teach upcoming teachers the old strategies that really work. This podcast brings back...Read full review »

I love the Build Math Minds Podcast because it's a short show but packed with rich ideas and resources. My favorite shows are the book and resource reviews because they help me see through all the not-great resources out there to ones that can be trusted. I am a middle school math teacher, so...Read full review »

I have been fangirling Christina for about twelve months now. The impetus that has finally made me write this review is Christina’s generosity.
