From her first job out of college, as one of the pioneers of Harvard's Internet education offerings, she has been passionate about encouraging her love for math in others. As an early contributor to both retail giant Amazon.com and Akamai Technologies, the number one firm in cloud computing, Rapoport played a key role in several elements of the Internet revolution. She then returned to her first love, education, as an innovator of new methods to introduce children and adults to the critically important world of STEAM education as COO of an enrichment center dedicated to helping kids explore the creative side of science, technology, engineering, art, and math, and is currently developing and teaching innovative math curricula in the Boston area. Rapoport is also the co-author of \u003ci\u003eMath Games Lab for Kids \u003c\/i\u003e(published by Quarry Books), a book of fun, hands-on math activities designed to introduce elementary and middle-school students to several areas of higher math; and the calendars \u003ci\u003eMathematics: Your Daily Epsilon of Math 2021\u003c\/i\u003e,​ \u003ci\u003eMathematics: Your Daily Epsilon of Math 2020\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMathematics 2019: Your Daily Epsilon of Math\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Mathematics Calendar 2018\u003c\/i\u003e, all published by Rock Point.

Her educational philosophy is that hands-on creative work is both the most fun and the most effective way to learn. She developed and taught the original hands-on-math lessons for an after-school program that eventually inspired this book. Some of her happiest memories come from \"eureka moments\"--either from learning something that makes a dozen other things suddenly make sense, or the sense of accomplishment that comes from solving a clever puzzle. The only thing better is sharing this joy with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.44 x 8.55 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760279814432,"sku":"9781631592522","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/2e5d80c4529fadecd9c49035dc687676.webp?v=1780176320","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/math-games-lab-for-kids-fun-hands-on-activities-for-learning-with-shapes-puzzles-and-games-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
