Speaker Bio
Katherine has written two books on teaching math from a biblical worldview and a junior high biblical worldview math curriculum. She started her online ministry when she graduated homeschool in 2003; since then, she has been blessed to travel and share on different topics with homeschoolers across the country and abroad. She also directed publications and marketing for her state’s non-profit homeschool organization, and worked for ParentalRights.org. She has a marketing degree and enjoys communicating important messages.
Katherine teaches piano, and enjoys baking, reading, and spending time with friends and family. She’s been that weird girl who leaves a library with a stack of math books, is always learning something new, and is discovering how much more there is to learn.

Math from a Biblical Worldview?
We see God’s hand in science and history, but what about in math? While most of us have come to look upon math as “neutral,” it’s not! Worldviews do matter in math — and there’s much more to looking at math from a biblical worldview than adding a scripture or Bible word problem to the lesson. Come discover biblical principles that make math come alive and give math meaning, helping children really understand what they’re learning. Find out how “neutral” presentations are really not neutral. Leave equipped to begin looking at and teaching math from a new perspective!
Revealing Arithmetic from a Biblical Worldview
How can counting, addition, multiplication, fractions, exponents, and other concepts in arithmetic be taught in such a way that children learn to see and use them as a God-given tool—and worship the Lord in math? In this workshop, Katherine will explore several arithmetic concepts, offering ideas and inspiration to help you transform your math class.
Revealing Algebra from a Biblical Worldview
Overwhelmed by variables and exponents? In this workshop, Katherine cuts through the confusion, revealing algebra for what it is: a method of recording the consistencies God created and sustained. Leave with a new outlook on algebra and ideas on how to teach it from a biblical perspective.
Revealing Geometry from a Biblical Worldview
What worldview is coming across in your student’s geometry class? In this workshop, Katherine looks past the proofs and constructions we typically see as geometry, offering ideas on how to teach it as a real-life, God-given tool that points us to the Creator. We’ll touch on various concepts, from basic shape identification up to proofs and theorems.
