M ATH L ITERACY G OALS Alternate but still challenging path Math in context, focus on numeracy, data analysis, and functions Develop critical thinking Relevant and accessible to students

P RODUCTIVE S TRUGGLE Real problems don’t follow cookie-cutter patterns; they take work Take responsibility Persistence will pay off

S ETTING E XPECTATIONS Daily Responsibilities: Attend class, attempt to see value in the mathematics we examine, know why you are here, show you care, and try your best. Keep calm and carry on: Mathematicians don’t know how to solve every problem immediately. They just know how to start thinking about it. Collaboration as a tool for problem solving and thinking.

M Y E XPERIENCE ? Has changed my whole philosophy about teaching Most fun I’ve had since I started teaching Get to know students much better I can’t go back
