Original PICO
MOEMS Board Member (1999 – 2009)
Sandy was an original PICO and coached many teams, including teams of primary students, until her retirement in 1990. She served on the Board of Directors of Nassau County Math Teachers Association (1985-87) and served as its president. Sandy was elected to the MOEMS Board in 1999.
Sandy’s philosophy had always been that children learn best when math concepts are presented in a problem solving context. Using Math Olympiad problems had been an important part of the way she taught her math classes, consulted in schools, and modeled lessons for teachers.
