Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a retired certified teacher and I have always loved math. During my career, I enjoyed teaching grade 2 through grade 8. I have a master's degree in education with a specialty in mathematics.
I love thinking about mathematics and creating interesting and exciting lessons that go beyond the rote memorization of math facts and promote children to use problem-solving strategies and higher-level thinking. I like to encourage and motivate children to observe the world around them and discover and apply mathematical thinking to their observations. My goal is to build confidence in being able to "do" mathematics and to foster a love for mathematics for all children.
I truly hope that I have an opportunity to share my love for mathematics with your childrenReviews
