Erin Wahler-Cleveland
Erin Wahler-Cleveland is a math educator, consultant, and founder of Roots and Wings Math. As a middle school teacher in underserved communities for nearly two decades, she saw how many students struggled with math confidence and identity and how much more difficult this made new learning. Through her master’s coursework in teaching mathematics, she deepened her understanding of the nature of critical early numeracy even before formal schooling begins.
As a parent of two young girls, Erin has become fascinated with how the earliest components of numeracy emerge and how they can be fostered through everyday moments. With such a lack of societal emphasis on nurturing mathematical thinking and reasoning in early childhood, she is passionate about helping parents and educators learn how to build strong foundations and positive mindsets for lifelong math learning.
