For 12 years, Karen taught high-school age students. During this time, she taught all subjects ranging from Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, to Pre-Calculus.
Quite often, during this time, Karen "coached" and "prepared" students for math competitions at surrounding counties, as well as nearby states.
Her biggest "expedition" was to a nation-wide competition held in Honolulu, Hawaii sponsored by Mu Alpha Theta, which is a major math honor society for high school students.
After taking an "extended" maternity leave, Karen began teaching Developmental Math at a local Community College in 1992. Most of the students taking this curriculum, are either adults who are returning to school after several years, or perhaps need refresher courses before going on to College-Level Mathematics.
Many of the high schools and community colleges are now teaching mathematics courses through the aid of GRAPHING CALCULATORS.
