About the Authors

Co-author Ms. Arielle Major is a native Grand Bahamian, local Middle School educator. Her journey began in the arts. Ms. Major's parents were music teachers who influenced her creativity and inspired a passion for enacting positive change in whatever course she chose to pursue. As an honor student at Sunland Baptist Academy, Ms. Major participated in many school activities and clubs, such as the Key and Interact Clubs and the handbell choir. However, Ms. Major’s love for mathematics was not stirred until she attended the College of The Bahamas, where she was enrolled as a music education student. A year into her studies, she felt compelled to change her Bachelor’s degree from music to education with a secondary certification in mathematics. During this time at the then “COB,” Ms. Major continued to develop her leadership skills as a peer tutor and an active member of the Math Club. Being a problem solver and one passionate about helping students to excel, it was an easy decision for Ms. Major to join forces with her colleague to create a series of mathematic books that serve to equip in advancing a new breed of math students who are excited about learning.
