My Mathematics Philosophy
My mathematics philosophy is to help students understand math on a deep meaningful level. I want to provide a variety of resources and strategies to help all learners. I think math should encompass real-world problems that relate to individual learners. I want to provide differentiated instruction based on the students math ability and readiness.
I have previously struggled in math so I know how difficult concepts may come off to children. My goal is to communicate on a level that students can understand. I want to be the voice of reason when it comes to mathematics. I want to instill a strong foundation of basic facts so students can excel in the future. I think getting to know each one of your students needs and learning styles is essential to teaching for understanding. I think highlighting the Standards for Mathematical Practices (SMP) will direct your teaching to be strong in mathematical performances.
I want to create a classroom that incorporates mathematics and other subjects throughout all content. I hope to have the privilege of having manipulatives for all of my students. I think providing a hands-on experience of mathematics will open the eyes of many students who learn visually and/or kinesthically. Providing instruction that is directed to different learning styles is something I strive to do daily in my teaching. I want to create a community where my students feel safe to ask questions and learn.
