Teri Perl (born November 19, 1926) is an American mathematics educator, author of mathematics resource books, and a co-founder of The Learning Company.

Perl was born in New York City, New York.

1947

In 1947, she received a bachelor's degree in economics from Brooklyn College in New York.

1969

She did post-baccalaureate work at San Jose State University in California and earned a secondary mathematics teaching credential there in 1969.

While doing substitute teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area, Perl discovered that there weren't adequate resources for substitute teachers.

She began a long-distance collaboration with Miriam K. Freedman to produce A Sourcebook for Substitutes and Other Teachers.

Freedman developed the material for teachers of English, foreign languages, and social science and Perl for teachers of mathematics and science.

1971

Perl was a mathematics consultant and resource teacher at Ventura Elementary School in Palo Alto, California from 1971 to 1978.

From 1971 to 1979, while working on her doctorate at Stanford, Perl taught part-time at San Francisco State University.

1974

In 1974, Perl, together with a group of San Francisco Bay area women, founded the Math/Science Network to encourage and inspire middle and high school girls to pursue careers in STEM.

1979

After her youngest child was in high school, Perl attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, California and obtained a Ph.D. in mathematics education in 1979.

The title of her dissertation was "Discriminating Factors and Sex Differences in Electing Mathematics".

In March 1979, Perl's book Math Equals: Biographies of Women Mathematicians + Related Activities received a very positive review by the American Library Association's publication Choice.

"An excellent, documented historical account of contributions made by somen interested in mathematics presented in a most unusual and readable format. The attention of a reader in mathematics is captivated immediately..."

1980

In 1980, Perl, Ann McCormick, Leslie Grimm, and Warren Robinett founded The Learning Company (TLC), an educational software company that developed grade-based learning software, as well as edutainment games and productivity tools.

Perl was the content designer for TLC's Math Rabbit.

She was responsible for writing users'/teachers' guides to accompany several software packages produced by TLC.

1982

The network was rebranded as the Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Network in 1982 when EYH obtained nonprofit status.

The MSN/EYH developed a one-day workshop for middle and high school girls with hands-on workshops and interactions with women in STEM careers.

1995

In 1995, TLC was taken over by SoftKey, who changed their name to The Learning Company.

1999

Perl served as president of the EYH Network from 1999 to 2007.

2005

In 2005, GirlSource honored Perl with its WAVE (Women of Achievement, Vision and Excellence) award.

In 2022 she became a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics, "For amazing and tireless efforts over five decades to promote women in mathematics and related fields; particularly, for co-founding what we now know as Expanding Your Horizons, her biographies of women mathematicians, and her influential role in The Learning Company, which have together inspired generations of women and girls."

2010

In 2010, the EYH Network was honored by the National Science Board with their Public Service Award "for its decades-long commitment to the early development of interest in mathematics and science among young women, making significant strides toward its goal to develop a pool of qualified women to undertake careers in mathematics, science and engineering."

2018

After several sales, The Learning Company brand was used by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt through 2018.
