Welcome to my classroom ↓
Middle-school maths & science teacher. I believe every wrong answer is a doorway — my job is to help students walk through it.
Step inside
"Draw on this page — go on."
Teaching philosophy
Students don't need to be told the answer. They need a reason to go looking for it.
What's on the board
Pick a subject — the board changes.
½ + ¼ = ¾
Fractions become real when students fold paper, split a chapati, then write the rule themselves. Symbols come last, not first.
How a lesson breathes
Five beats, repeated — tap a step.
Hook
A puzzle, an object, a odd claim on the board. Curiosity comes before content.
The long division
How I got to the front of the room.
B.Ed. Mathematics & Science
Trained to teach both subjects, which is why my classes keep borrowing from each other.
Class teacher, upper primary
Learned that behaviour is communication and that routines free up time for wonder.
Maths & Science teacher
Built the Project Lab term and the "favourite mistake" ritual now used across the department.
Department mentor
Coaching newer teachers on questioning, feedback and low-cost experiments.
