I used to hate teaching math when I began my education career. It was scary! I didn’t know what I was doing and had ZERO confidence. 18 years later, you’ll find me traveling across the country teaching other teachers the best ways to teach math. My number one goal in starting this blog is to help YOU love to teach math. However, blogging isn’t the main form of learning these days. I find myself going to social media to learn so many things. So…I am (very nervously) trying a new idea where I do things way beyond my skill and comfort level:
- I have started an instagram account (a professional one), you’ll find it by clicking here: @beyondtmath
- My goal is to release as many teaching tips as I can using reels or video posts.
- I want every video to be under 60 seconds, and something you can try immediately.
- I plan to try to do these weekly.
It feels worrisome to put myself out there, but I’m going to be posting all those tips that I tell teachers and I hear back: “I wish someone had told me this!” or “I love that idea!” or “I am SO trying that!” or “That finally makes sense to me!”
My first post is about how to develop number sense with cubes. I hope you’ll venture over and find me! (Please, please, please!)
