Barbara J. Dougherty, Ph.D, was a professor in mathematics education at the University of Hawai'i's Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG). She is a former member of the board of directors of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, chair of the NCTM Research Committee, and served on the executive committee of the NCTM board. She served on the author panel for the What Works Clearinghouse Practice Guide on assisting elementary school students who have difficulty learning mathematics for the U.S. Department of Education Institute of Educational Sciences. She is the author or coauthor of approximately 22 book chapters, 28 articles, and 35 books, including M^Power, A Path to Understanding Algebra (2022), N^Sights Math Games for Conceptual Understanding (2019), and The Math Pact series. Her research, funded by more than $11.5 million in grants, emphasizes supporting students who struggle in middle and high school, with a focus on algebra. She holds teaching certifications in middle and high school mathematics and K-12 special education.

Linda Venenciano, Ph.D, is an associate professor of mathematics education. She has worked for over 20 years at the University of Hawai'i's Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG), collaborating on K-12 mathematics curriculum projects and on professional development activities for teachers. Venenciano's work focuses on the development of children's understanding of mathematics concepts that are linked to the successful study of algebra, and with developing algebra materials for struggling learners and designing and conducting professional development for middle school teachers. She has published a high school curriculum under a contract with the Hawai'i State Department of Education,?A Modeling Approach to Algebra?in 2015 and is currently working within CRDG to publish student materials and accompanying teacher's guides under the title,?M^Power, A Path to Understanding Algebra.?Venenciano has also published creative works with CRDG which include a children's math storybook in 2020 (Who Has More? The Great Flood), a book of conceptual math games in?2019 (N^Sights, Math Games for Conceptual Understanding), and a collection of problem-solving task cards in 2006 (Working 'round a problem).
