About us…
My name is Kelli Mallory and I am the face behind Integral Mathematics, Inc. and Math Cut Ups activities.
I am a life-long teacher. I have served education in Texas for my entire career and the 2023-2024 school year marks my 29th year serving in some capacity. I have been fortunate enough to have many opportunities as an educator during that time, including serving as a middle & high school teacher, middle school campus administrator, district-level curriculum coordinator, regional mathematics specialist through ESC 10, and state-level assessment specialist with TEA.
I have authored, co-authored, reviewed, and supported many other products and materials beyond my own during this time and have been blessed to spend the last few years growing my own business endeavors while getting to spend more time with my own child. When you support me, through a purchase or attending a presentation, you are supporting my life-long passion to build engaging ways for students to learn mathematics, and you also support my family. THANK YOU!
I am Rosemary Martin, the face behind Science Cut Ups.
I am a life-long learner. The part of my career I’m most proud of is my 25 years as a classroom teacher in middle and high schools. I was also privileged to serve 6 years as an Elementary Science Coordinator in a large suburban district and as a facilitator to teachers undertaking a Master of Science program. In all these roles I learned so much from students, colleagues, administrators and mentors.
During retirement I wanted to stay connected to my two passions, science and teachers. I found a great way to accomplish that by authoring, co-authoring, reviewing and supporting many product materials as well as creating my own.
When you support us, through a purchase or attending a presentation, you are supporting our life-long passion to build engaging ways for students to learn, and you also support our little family. THANK YOU!
Our Why...
Teaching is the hardest job we know and we want to help teachers work smarter, not harder.
Brain research has identified that more memorable learning occurs when students are interacting with each other and the content using multiple modalities.
Teachers sometimes lack the time, resources, and/or skills to create or find high-quality standards-based materials for small-group instruction.
Student learning isn’t a guaranteed outcome of teaching but we hope through the materials and presentations we make we positively affect the way teachers teach in order to ensure that memorable student learning is likely to occur.
Our Dream…
We want students to be so engaged in interactive activities that they are upset when they have to stop because the class time is over.
We want teachers to feel the satisfaction of stepping back and watching engaged groups of students debating and explaining their thinking as they navigate through interactive experiences.
Our Mission…
Math & Science Cut Ups exists to serve and support teachers by providing high-quality, standards-based mathematics and science materials and professional learning opportunities that are engaging while challenging so that they can meet the needs of the students in their classrooms.
