You are probably one of two people if you have somehow found this site. Either you are an enamored teacher with maz whiz students or a teacher at your wit’s end. In either case thissit is for you. We don’t distinguish.
Lucky Teacher
Congratulation you are the teacher who has never met a student who didn’t love math. Kudos to you. If you are said lucky, dedicated teacher who is trying to expand your math teaching abilities by looking into other resources to connect to you students in new ways, this site is for you. Also, good for you math is fun and fantastic. Not at all scary, mortifying, or a known trait disorder (math anxiety). For that, I hope this site is helpful for resources.
Struggling Math Teacher
More than likely you are here. The other (Lucky) teacher won’t mind; they have never seen a student break down over math or feel their hair pulled out trying to explain the importance of math. They wouldn’t believe in a student who hated math– they are a myth, a unicorn if you will. So don’t worry, they won’t mind and skip right through this section. Otherwise, if you are a math teacher who struggles to connect and enamore their students in math and the love of its multidimensional phenomena, this site may help you. My goal is to give you a set of resource with added sarcasm and levity along the way to make it enjoyable for you to read.
Either Case:
This site is designed to give you background, resources, and a community with which to better teach math at multiple levels. Below you will find FINDINGS, PROJECTS IDEAS, and RESOURCES. They are pretty self explanatory. I would start with the findings to get some background on how I interpret the problems and where my original ideas for projects originate. Second, the section labeled project ideas allow you to quickly jump into some general ideas myself or others have created and worked for specific areas of education. You can jump ahead if to this section if needed. (I understand, teaching is hard) Finally, resources will allow you to find resources and references used in this site.
Lastly:
All sites have sections where you can add comments of what worked and didn’t. I want this site to be a place to communicate ways to teach math more effectively.
