As a mathematics specialist teacher, I focus on using innovative methods to help my students think critically about maths. Passing exams and getting great marks are important, but I also value learning, being curious and resilient in the face of a difficult task. Here’s how I approach teaching and tutoring:

• Problem-Based Learning: I present real-world problems that require my students to apply mathematical concepts. I encourage collaboration in small groups, allowing them to explore different strategies to find solutions together.

• Visual Learning: I use visual aids like diagrams, graphs, and other representations to help my students grasp abstract concepts. This makes complex ideas more accessible and easier to understand.

• Differentiated Instruction: I tailor my teaching methods to meet the diverse needs of my students. I provide varied pathways for understanding, whether through guided practice, independent exploration, or peer teaching.

• Deep Questioning: I foster critical thinking by asking open-ended questions that prompt my students to explain their reasoning and justify their answers. This encourages them to explore alternative methods.

• Growth Mindset: I cultivate a positive attitude toward learning from mistakes. I encourage my students to view challenges as opportunities for growth and to persist in their efforts.

• Feedback and Reflection: I provide constructive feedback that focuses on the process, not just the answer. I also encourage my students to reflect on their thought processes and learning strategies.

• Making Connections: I show how mathematics relates to other subjects and everyday life. This increases engagement and helps my students see the relevance of what they’re learning.

• Encouragement of Inquiry: I allow my students to ask questions and pursue their interests within mathematics. This autonomy boosts their motivation and engagement.

By implementing these strategies, I aim to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment that fosters deep mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills in my students.
