Hi! I’m Maria, a Mathematics Education student want-to-be-passionate about teaching and learning through meaningful experiences from Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA). As a SEA Teacher participant, I embraced the chance to teach in the Philippines, exploring innovative ways to connect with students—like using discovery learning, games, and songs to explain concepts like mathematical induction. While blogging isn’t usually my thing, I created this space to share my journey and inspire others who might be curious about cross-cultural teaching experiences. Thanks for stopping by—let’s learn and grow together!
