Lucinda has contributed to several of the Math Recovery® series of books, including Teaching Number in the Classroom with 4-8 Year Olds. She has an extensive background working with historically underserved groups. Leading systemic partnerships and developing mathematics leaders who support and sustain mathematics education in their schools has been both a passion and a success. Lucinda and her husband, Kurt Kinsey, reside in Florida, USA, where they enjoy hosting friends and family. Kurt Kinsey has spent the majority of his career working together with teachers, teacher leaders, schools, and school systems to improve the mathematics educational experience for students. With a BS and MEd in mathematics education, his teaching background includes secondary mathematics, mathematics intervention at the early and middle level, and teacher in-service and graduate-level coursework. Kurt is a founding member of the US Math Recovery Council® (USMRC). He has served on the USMRC Board of Directors and has worked with the organization in various capacities, including, most recently, as a Content Specialist.

(Bob) Wright holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in mathematics from the University of Queensland (Australia) and a doctoral degree in mathematics education from the University of Georgia. He is an adjunct professor in mathematics education at Southern Cross University in New South Wales. Bob is an inter­nationally recognized leader in assessment and instruction relating to children’s early arithmetical knowledge and strategies, publishing six books, and many articles and papers in this field. His work over the last 25 years has included the development of the Mathematics Recovery Program, which focuses on providing specialist training for teachers to advance the numeracy levels of young children assessed as low-attainers. In Australia and New Zealand, Ireland, the UK, the USA, Canada, Mexico, South Africa and elsewhere, this programme has been implemented widely, and applied extensively to classroom teaching and to average and able learners as well as low-attainers. Bob has conducted several research projects funded by the Australian Research Council including the most recent project focusing on assessment and intervention in the early arithmetical learning of low-attaining 8- to 10-year-olds.
