I am a teacher in mathematics. I teach in primary, secondary and literacy. I use latex for writing exercises and tools for my students. My recent achievements in Latex are a small booklet of 16 pages (octavo letterpage) built using pdfPage as well as flash cards. I regularly use pgf/tikz. I am not yet fluent in English and Latex but I'm working on it! Currently I am working on a series of short lessons in mathematics, in Latex of course! My mother tongue is french.
