97: 6 Ways to Love Teaching Math
Jan 29, 2024
Mona Iehl

In my 3rd year of teaching, I taught first and second grade. There were so many behavior problems such as kids rolling on the carpet, having fits, peeing their pants, asking to get water or go to the bathroom just to get out of the classroom, yelling out, refusing to do their work…. NO ONE was having fun, myself included, and they were barely learning.

What I know now… I’d do almost everything differently.

Join me for 6 ways to love teaching math– even if you’ve NEVER liked math in your entire life (because that was me)!
