Processing Styles

Historically, students who flourish in math have processing styles aligned with their teachers.

It is my job to provide a multi-sensory approach to learning new concepts to match all my students processing styles.

The goal is to develop a perceptual picture that will stay with them .

Teaching Style

Students are successful because they know what they are doing rather than memorize steps.

Incorporates research involving learning and the brain.

Teach to the way adolescents process math, not the way I do.

Homework

Designed for students to regain perceptual picture.
