My Story - teach the students some maths tricks or give them some fun maths facts


Somehow the school teachers thought that I am only good in mathematics (maths). The three different teachers ask me to assist the students in maths. Oh well, so be it

I easily get my guernsey from the principal, teachers and most importantly the students. I am given a free hand to guide the students to do the class exercises the way I see fit

I have been given the green light to deal with students with learning or behavioral problems individually within the class. It is important that the students need to understand where their mental road block is, and how to find ways to bypass or fix it.

Depending on how much time is left before the class is dismissed, I request from the class teacher permission to teach the students some maths tricks or give them some fun maths facts. The teachers are pretty good and attentive audience to say the least.

It does not matter whether it is a STEM subject or not, it is important to find ways to make it interesting and fun in order to minimise or even eliminate rejection by the students.

I have proven that my black-and-white hair is NOT a barrier or hindrance to join these young children and have communication at their age levels.

Thank you for reading.
