I like to start off by clearly and concisely explaining the topic at hand before moving into the formulas and equations methods. I believe an intuitive understanding of what the math is doing and what it will be applied to helps students to better understand the content in the long run and helps them to remember it for longer. Visual representations of the math is a good way to understand it intuitively. After gaining an intuition, we move into the application of the math in the real world. Having an idea of what the math can be used for in the real world is important so the student doesn’t feel like what they are learning is completely abstract and not applicable to anything. Next, covering the basic math knowledge needed to move into a topic. Eg, learning about limits before moving into differentiation.
