Brooks Park is a secondary science teacher with over 25 years of experience. He uses math every day in teaching his classes and hopes to inspire an appreciation for both the practicality as well as the pure beauty of math. One of his favorite questions from students is “When are we ever going to use this?” He believes that everybody has the potential to be “a math person” and that cultivating a positive relationship with numbers and fluency in math at an early age is critical to developing STEM talent in the next generation.
