I've been a math teacher for 12 years.
I've taught at both public and private schools. I've worked with over 2,000 students.
Almost every kid is bored.
The advanced kids are bored because no one is challenging them. The struggling kids are bored because they've already checked out. And the kids in the middle are just going through the motions.
The common thread? None of them are being taught how to actually think.
I've watched kids at every level disengage from a subject that should be one of the most exciting things they ever learn. And it's sad to see.
So I built something to fix it. It's called Math Quest.
And over the next few weeks, I'm going to share what I've learned about math, problem solving, and what it actually takes to help a kid fall in love with thinking.
More to come. A lot more.
