Math should be done through discovery, and the only way to discover new things is to DO new things. Everything will be focused on discovery and making students come to their own conclusions.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have not taught a lot yet, but everything I post I have used in a class, and I thought it was effective.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love to let kids work through packets and projects with little explanation from my end so the kids can make the math their own. I love asking leading questions that make kids think.
