It's hard to believe it was almost 6 years ago that Hilty Consulting was born. In just a few weeks, I filed paperwork to start a company, created a logo, contacted prospective schools, and built a website. By far, building the website was the most challenging mountain to climb! Over the years, with the help of several family members, the website went through a redesign, and for the most part, it did what I intended it to do: store resources for ...

While attending the Math Summit in 2023, I learned the power of a daily number sense routine that has completely changed the way I teach math in my 3rd grade classroom. My students have grown so much as mathematicians through this simple yet powerful daily routine. The knowledge and wisdom that Kristin shares with teachers is what makes her such a great asset for any school district. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to learn from her. Her strategies, advice and guidance have made me a better math teacher for my students.

Choosing to work with Kristin has been one of the best instructional decisions we have ever made. She quickly developed a trusting rapport with our teachers.

The Daily Number Routine I learned from Hilty Consulting is a game changer for my fourth-grade class! It continually reviews the skills needed to scaffold the instruction for all levels of learners so that they become more confident and successful with the fourth-grade standards and state testing. Kids come back to my class every year and see the Daily Number Routine Board. They typically exclaim, 'I remember coloring the fraction circles and creating fraction equations! That was so fun! It truly gives them ownership and time to fully comprehend the foundation of fractions and deepen their understanding of multiple math concepts.
