Deborah Wuehler kicks off the first-ever Hey, Mama!

Her gentle encouragement comes from homeschooling her own eight unique learners over the past thirty-one years. Gain wisdom for teaching every stage of math with early learners, high schoolers, or anyone in between. Listening to Deborah will help you look at math—and your children—in a beautiful new way.
