Jeanne Holmberg loves to put a fun spin on learning! Jeanne lives in Massachusetts where she writes educational books for ages 2-18. Her goal is to inspire active learning and rich discussion.
Jeanne was inspired to write "Crush Math Anxiety With Drones" after helping so many high school and college students who were overwhelmed by math anxiety. When students discover and explore big ideas in context, they make valuable connections that ease their anxiety. Students learn that mathematics is so much more than just numbers staring at you from a screen or scribbled on a piece of paper. Mathematics tells a story. And as their math skills grow, the story becomes more and more interesting. Jeanne hopes that this book will help students to relax and enjoy the story.
Before embarking on her writing adventures, Jeanne enjoyed life and learning as an educational leader, actuarial analyst, research chemist and volunteer at a local children’s museum. Jeanne lives by the inspirational quote “Live well, laugh often, love much” by Bessie Anderson Stanley. If she could add one more thought to Bessie Anderson Stanley’s inspirational quote it would be: “Live well, laugh often, love much” and learn all along the way.
When she is not writing, Jeanne is inspired by spending time outdoors with her Scottish Terrier named Rocky, photographing nature, reading historical fiction, and surrounding herself with family and friends.
