Mastery Math
In my math classroom, I emphasize a growth mindset, and do my best to encourage students to believe in themselves as math learners! We work often with numbers, developing a solid understanding of the fundamentals of working with numbers. From there, I encourage thoughtful, neat, step-by-step problem solving. Khan Academy is our primary math resource, supplemented by UWaterloo Problems of the Week, and the online resources below.
