소수점에 대해 알아보기 4부: 과학적 표기법

I taught mathematics for eight years at a High School in Bermuda.  I have taught Learning Support classes, regular stream classes, and honor's level classes.   There are two main streams of curricula that I was privileged to teach, the U.S. subject-based curriculum and the U.K. based IGCSE curriculum.  
 
Teaching both curricula has enabled me to have a great exposure to the different aspects of math instruction. My preference is to teach mathematics ranging from middle to high school and even some college level courses.  My favorite courses to teach are Algebra 1 and 2 courses. Recently I have been teaching the Mathematics GED course to adult students.
  
Initially I wanted to be an Electrical Engineer and I was studying to obtain that degree in University.  However, I loved the aspect of teaching and decided to pursue what I loved.  I graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a B.Sc. in Mathematics and a Minor in History.  Then I received a Master of Arts in Teaching Secondary Mathematics (M.A.T.) from Georgia State University.

Like many  teachers, I follow the Gradual Release Model of 'I do, we do, you do' to allow students to feel comfortable about understanding and doing mathematics on their own.  I also am an advocate of a proper blend of skill & drill problems and conceptual understanding, as both styles are essential in recalling information and solving various types of problems. 

I really believe that a correct foundation in mathematics is the key to success.  I believe that anyone can 'do mathematics' and my lessons are conducted to ensure that students know that too.

Recently my family and I have moved from Bermuda to my wife's hometown in California.  We have four children (that we home school) and we enjoy hiking in the great outdoors.
