The Math Doctor
About
I am a lover of mathematics. I believe in student's should learn to the basics by using the basics such as pencil and paper and then level up to calculator use, so that they gain number sense and how to apply what they have learned to the next level of mathematics.
I graduated in the top 25% of high school class in 1999.
I graduated from Texas State Technical College in 2007 with an AAS in Environmental, Health and Safety.
I later returned to school to fulfill my passion of becoming an educator and I currently a senior majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies with my concentration area being Math/Science 4-8. My expected graduation date is December 2019.
I love math and I want students to love math as much as I do.
