Non-refereed publications

I served as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics representative and chair of a national U.S. mathematics competition for middle level students. We write the items that are used for chapter level, state level and national level competitions. I have also co-authored the handbook linked to the competition, providing practice problems to students.
