About me

Activity

I teash math in a career college and I make use of lesson review in the following way:

- I write on the board the topics that will be covered that class

- I continue to refer back to prior topics and how the progression was accomplished to the current topic

- I review at the end of class the topics covered in the class. This is done in only a few sentences so that the student can see the "top-down" lesson that was learned.

As a math instructor, I am constantly trying to overcome the barriers that the career students have built up from their prior experiences with math and how learning algebra or the area of a rectangle matters in their careers. I have tried to relate how examples in "check book management" or "buying a carpet" for a living room connect with math. I especially try to insert some humor in these topics to help in their retention.
