It gets them engaged with the material, and motivates them to keep...

...simple!) math. Inspired by a Latin teacher who told me, if you want to remember something, make it dirty -- I couple memorable and relatable examples with the Socratic method to help the student internalize the foreign concepts. Next, we will dive into the underlying equations, working through examples with progressively less help from me until you know how to set up the problem and attack it on your own. However, as everyone learns differently,...
