My mathematics lessons are designed to be inclusive, concept-driven, and deeply engaging. I believe that mathematics is more than numbers and formulas it is a way of thinking, reasoning, and making sense of the world. My teaching approach blends Concept-Based Curriculum and Instruction (CBCI), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and neuroscience-informed strategies to help each student develop deep conceptual understanding, problem-solving confidence, and a genuine love for learning mathematics.

Each session begins with inquiry encouraging students to explore ideas through open-ended questions, real-world contexts, and visual models. Instead of memorizing procedures, students learn why mathematical concepts work, which helps them apply their understanding to new and unfamiliar situations. I use manipulatives, math journals, and reflective dialogue to foster metacognition, creativity, and active reasoning.

In every lesson, I promote a growth mindset, helping learners view mistakes as opportunities for growth and exploration. My students are encouraged to take intellectual risks, communicate their thinking clearly, and collaborate through problem-based learning tasks. I design differentiated activities that cater to varied learning styles, strengths, and needs, ensuring every learner feels supported, confident, and continuously challenged.

Having taught within the IB PYP and MYP frameworks, I integrate global contexts, transdisciplinary connections, and service-learning opportunities to make mathematics meaningful, relevant, and inspiring. My goal is to nurture learners who not only succeed academically but also think critically, act ethically, and view mathematics as a creative, empowering, and globally connected language.

Through this holistic approach, my students become curious, reflective thinkers capable of connecting mathematical ideas, solving authentic real-life problems, and developing a lifelong appreciation for the beauty of mathematics.
