Mrs. Brown is a devoted mother of three sons whom she homeschooled and a retired mathematics teacher. She has been happily married to her wonderful and supportive husband Eric for 40 years. Judy has presented over one hundred workshops helping others employ the participation of students in mathematics and written three articles on student’s projects for mathematics magazines. The former Eckerd Youth Alternatives mathematics curriculum was authored by Mrs. Brown and she is a contributing author for a book on active research for educators, and served as an adjunct professor to teach math methods to elementary teachers. Twenty years ago, she had a vision. Inspired by God and helped by her son, she set out to create a hands-on math curriculum accompanied by free daily teaching and solution videos that integrate math with science, art, history, and the Word of God. She and her son completed the 7th- 12th grade mathematics curriculum in 2023, the same month she was named District #3 2024 Ohio Teacher of the Year. This curriculum is helping children throughout ministries in Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, and Africa learn about math and God. Computers, projectors and all of the videos are provided to non-profit organizations around the world where Mrs. Brown provides on-line training to teachers in those ministries. At their request, Mrs. Brown, with the help of her family, has now written the 1st – 6th hands-on series. There are over 2,000 free videos available to homeschoolers. In 2026, Mrs. Brown has presented at six homeschool conferences on engaging students by connecting God with mathematics. She teaches strengthening numeracy skills in children, promotes logical and deductive reasoning skills, clears up mathematics misconceptions, and encourages finding joy in mathematics through game playing.
