About Christine Losq

Christine fell in love with elementary mathematics in 1984, while working as a project editor with a major textbook publisher. In 1988, she turned to the classroom to better understand learning theory in practice. Working her way up from Grade 6 to Kindergarten, Christine has turned classroom-based experiences into resources to share with teachers. She has authored numerous classroom-based resources that provide professional development combined with ready-to-use, in-class materials to address the toughest math topics.

Christine focuses on the needs of intervention and at-risk students. She understands the essential relationship between oral and auditory literacy and math achievement. In both her authored materials and in her professional development workshops, she highlights the essential role of language acquisition in improving math achievement.

A popular presenter and teacher trainer, Christine addresses head-on the complex challenges of improving math achievement for our most challenged students.

"My staff has never been SO enthusiastic about a trainer. They all say
Christine is the best presenter they have ever worked with!"
Math Coordinator, District 3, Los Angeles Unified School District

"I never realized how powerful literacy skills are, even when I'm teaching math. Thanks for a great training!" Summer school teacher, Livingston, CA

Christine is a prolific author of both core program materials and
supplemental resources.
