This is my eleventh year teaching at Millennium Middle School and my tenth year as a math teacher on the Explorers' Team (the best team in the school). After 31 years of working for Broward County Schools, I still enjoy it every single day. My goal is to create a learning environment where every child enjoys learning math. I love to find new strategies that make math easy - my favorite is "the box" method which is used as a math graphic organizer.
The benefit of math is that it applies to everything you do in life. If children are given the opportunity to explore and apply math skills with cooking, sewing, constructing, measuring, designing, and organizing , then you will also see their math abilities improve.
I am looking forward to a year filled with seventh graders anxious to explore the world of math.
