(Mostly) Open-Ended Student Survey: Beginning of the Year

Teaching style
I ask "Why?" a lot. Almost constantly. I want students to understand the reasoning behind the math they learn, to make sense of it themselves whenever possible, and to bring the math to life in a variety of contexts. I tell my students they are too quiet sometimes - I love collaboration and get really excited when I hear kids having a rich math argument. I also enjoy helping kids improve their number sense and mental math, to become more efficient and confident mathematicians.
My own education history
I have a Master's degree in Middle School Education with a math focus. I have also taken multiple courses in special education. Prior to life in teaching, I studied linguistics, French, German, and dance.
