 Philosophy

Education is Power, and through the process of education we empower students academically and in their daily lives.

Math is about the process of problem solving.  In the real world math is utilized daily as a tool for ANALYSIS, DISCOVERY and PREDICTION.  I hope that my students develop not only skills and processes for mathematical computation, but also develop skills that assist them in cultivation a variety of strategies that aid in solving mathematical problems.

We refer to a process known as ‘EAT’ when tackling math problems.

Examine

• Read the problem
  
• List or underline key info

Analyze

• Draw a picture
• Create an organized list or a table
• Guess and test

Think

• Do the computations
  
• Does my answer make sense?
• Have I answered the questions asked?

This fosters an organized approach to problem solving.
