As a teacher of Mathematics, the following ideas are employed to make sure students ascertain the most from each session:
*
Students are challenged to think deeply about the problems they are solving, reaching beyond the solutions and algorithms
required to solve the problem. This ensures that students are explaining both how they found their solution and why they chose a particular method of solution.
*
Constantly influencing learning by posing challenging and interesting questions. Questions are asked
that not only stimulate students’ innate curiosity but also encourage them to investigate further.

Each lesson will be facilitated with the use of several instructional aids that include but are not limited to:

1) Problem Attic-This will be used to formulate all questions for all tests and quizzes-This is a test bank with over 280,000 high-quality questions from NY Regents and other states’ released tests, curriculum guides, academic competitions, SBAC, PARCC, NAEP, TIMSS, PISA, and more.  All subjects, all grades, all in one place.  Also, Problem-Attic will be used for differentiated instruction, blended/self-paced learning, warm-ups, exit tickets, flashcards, games, slideshows, and even problem-of-the-day calendars.
