Emma Tipping, illustrator

All the illustrations and math graphics were created by Emma Tipping, Emma has worked as a professional artist for over 15 years and specializes in creating art for kids and families. As a parent of three who is constantly confused by her kids' math homework, Emma loved learning how to help her kids in math while working on "We Didn't Learn Math This Way!" She became so inspired about helping families find joy and confidence and math that she wrote and illustrated "Digit Chomps to 10", also published by Singapore Math!
