My personal philosophy starts first and foremost within yourself. An educator must have a sincere drive to care about the students and care about their success. Math skills are life skills. It is my responsibility to pass these skills onto our future. These skills are used on a daily basis and it not a subject that should be taken lightly. Not only should we teach how to perform the concepts, we must teach the concepts themselves. Why do I work the problem out this way? Should I "Invert and multiply and not ask why? That answer should be no.
Math must be reinforced daily in order for children to understand fundamental concepts as well as basic number sense. Having the care of an educator with the knowledge and desire to have students succeed, mathematics should be a concept all children have the ability to grasp and use in their lives.
