I interpret and review home work with students.Use explicit instruction and cooperative learning strategies that will make the pupil understand the concept.

Explicit instruction tells students clearly, directly, and in a structured way what to do and how to do it. Things are broken down into small parts.

I also use hands-on learning to show students how what was taught can be used in the real world, they can practice what they have already learned, and it gives them an opportunity to be creative.

Visual, auditory, and reading/writing learning styles can be complemented for student (hands-on) learning by giving students an opportunity to implement what they have seen and heard.

It prepares them for their future careers by trying out things and seeing what they are good at and helps them to gain skills that they would not otherwise have been able to learn.

My content includes environment of numeracy, math warmups, whole-class instruction, small-group lessons, Math Workshop, math conferences, and assessment.

While teaching, I feel good and happy when my students feel also good and happy because they learnt the key points of my lectures.

While teaching, I am more a mentor and organizer of learning experiences and situations, such that my students actively understand, reinvent and reconstrcut everything they learn, than a simple transmitter of ready made and established truths imposed on them from outside.

In other words, I avoid indoctrination and brainwashing. This means that I make use of the active methods, not the traditional or conservative ones, and appeal to due technology when it is appropriate.
