...middle schools. Mathematical proficiency is composed of two parts--procedural skill and logical reasoning.They are both important, since being quick and accurate with arithmetic can help one significantly with understanding the logical component of higher math.

Students that work through a problem until they "get stuck" are already learning a lot more than if they had never attempted it....

I am a former teacher and have a passion for Math and Science. I hope that I can help others in these areas so that they can see the joys in them that I do and be successful in their studies.
