What do you like most about learning?
You are never too young or too old to learn. I am a big proponent of life long learning.
What is the biggest impact you’ve had on a student’s ability to become proficient in math?
I think the first and biggest barricade that students face on the road to becoming proficient in math is the preconceived notion that "math is hard." Many children learn that at a young age and grow to believe that. Yes, it can be challenging, but what isn't at first? Once you help dispel that myth, you can start building on that.
What type of math do you enjoy teaching most?
That is a hard question. For younger students, it is teaching them those base fundamentals that they will see over and over again. For our older students, it would be geometry. Or, maybe, algebra. Or, maybe, word problems...
How do you make learning math fun for students?
I try to create a fun environment, with fun days and rewards for mastering challenging topics and working hard. I am also the crazy math lady that has a two-sided sign (one side says "Math is Fun" the other says "I Love Math") that gets pulled out as necessary.
