Returning to teaching after many years running our family retail sales of linens business, I come to class now with the simple love of of the beauty in math. I can teach like a seasoned adult, but without the wear and tear of a 30 year teacher. I am thankful for this late change back into the career I had envisioned for myself when I was bright and shiny.
Very few lessons with guided notes, I enjoy writing out the concepts and bringing them to life on paper. At the same time, it is wonderful to have students find the rules out on their own. Both having students write their own notes, creating a story of the functions we will learn about AND offering guided discoveries work well to foster the connections in concepts.
