The key to math is the world of possibility it opens up. Since we're talking about simple, but elusive concepts based on the real world, I stress putting logical ideas together and understanding how to express the meaning of mathematics in accessible ways.

In public schools, I have taught pre-K through seventh grade. As an ESL/EFL teache... Read more
