Welcome

Welcome to the official Karen Ferrell website. Like many of the books I've written, I hope you'll find this site user friendly, easy to navigate, and loaded with useful information.

Born and raised in Texas near the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex area, and ever since I can remember, I've loved to read and write. After graduting from college, I taught middle school and high school as I continued to hone my writing skills. An overnight success (after fifteen years of hard work), nine of my books hit the market within eighteen months of each other.

In the“Adventures in Mathopolis” books, humor and cartoons combined with an intriguing story line guide elementary readers on a lively mathematical adventure. I've authored two books in this series for elementary students, “Estimating and Measuring” and “The Great Polygon Caper”. I also have seven published technology integration books: “Partnering Pre-Algebra with Microsoft Excel”, “Partnering Secondary Math with Microsoft Excel”, and five books in the popular “GameWize” series.

An experienced educator in both mathematics and technology integration, I have presented at conferences for math, science, social studies, and language arts and was a featured speaker at the 2010 Texas Computer Education Association Conference. In 2006, I was awarded the "Adult and Community Education Outstanding Instructor" for Texas.

Thank you for visiting my website!
