The Facts About Heather J. Robinson.
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of
this page is to concentrate on pedagogy and best teaching practices. In my quest to be a better mathematics
educator, I have designed this page to enhance my understanding of the mathematical
concepts involved in the assignments as well as how to incorporate these
investigations into my teaching strategies. I believe that the best educators are well versed in the
mathematics behind the skills that they are charged to teach students, but I
also believe that teachers are responsible for giving students a complete set
of knowledge that does not just involves “skill and drill” but rather fuses
skill attainment with understanding.
My goal is to look at each investigation in its mechanical light as well
as its pedagogical light in order to make my page accessible for both students
and fellow educators.
I have
included some links that I like below and The Assignments follow.
Enjoy!
