I am a tenacious, fun loving and laid back mathematics teacher among members of staff. When I teach students I display high levels of intellect, a conscientious manner, a good sense of humour and give rewards not only sanctions. I enjoy using a diverse range of methods when I teach such as game based teaching, collaborative lessons, investigative approaches, connectionist teaching and topic based teaching whereby I relate maths to the everyday lives of students‘.
In addition, my teaching style encourages student participation and discussion. It is a mixture of facilitative teaching and instructor led lessons. It aims to ensure that each student is stretched to their limits and hence incorporates differentiation. To diversify my teaching, I encourage peer learning whereby students who have understood an idea in maths, teach their understanding of maths to those who are struggling to understand. When it comes to marking work, I get students to mark their own work as well as regularly marking their work myself and giving written feedback.
This is my belief about mathematics: “mathematics is the most beautiful subject in education and life: it is artistic, scientific and the language of the sciences. It is discovered, adapted and open to invention. Mathematics is profitable to the person who understands it well. It is a waterfall of knowledge: one never tires of washing themselves with mathematics“ (Timothy Wandera, 2018).
