My passion is helping my students not only by giving the students the tools to be successful in Mathematics but to impart to them a deeper understanding of the subject. I truly believe if the students were taught Mathematics through experiential learning, they would gain so much more than knowledge but rather a longing to continue to learn and grow in the field.
Teachers of mathematics also need to have a deeper understanding of the material before attempting to impart it to their students. When the teachers are more relaxed and confident with the material, the learning environment becomes less rigid and more open to the types of learning experiences advantageous to real learning.
I will be creating lessons that students may use to help them better understand some of the major concepts needed for continued studies at our school as well as give teachers another resouce to which they can send their students for review and extra practice.
Please check out my pages at Math Notes If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them! Thank you!
