RICHARD TCHEN
Mathematics Materials and Assessment Developer
Over the course of twenty years with the Math Forum, Richard edited Ask Dr. Math, the Math Forum Internet News, the Internet Mathematics Library, and countless web pages, including collaborations with organizations ranging from the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics to the Textile Museum. After Forum’s shuttering by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, he worked for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (learning architecture) and Amplify (digital curriculum development) to produce large-scale core math products.
Richard re-connected with Forum colleagues Steve Weimar and Annie Fetter at 21PSTEM, where he helped develop the Virtual Math Teams environment as the Educational Program Developer for the Mathematical Thinkers Like Me project. He currently serves 21PSTEM as the Mathematics Materials and Assessment Developer for Dr. Steve Kramer’s project, Mathematics Empowerment through Standards-Based Grading.
