Math- it does your brain good!!

My philosophy:

My classroom is primarily a hands-on learning environment. We use games, hands-on manipulatives, graphic organizers, competitions, and cooperative learning to enhance the self-learning process.

I also use the 20 brain-compatible learning styles in my lessons. I believe that learning should be fun for both the students and the teacher. Students learn more when they are engaged fully in the lesson
