Hey, My name is ChenChen from China. I'm a math teacher working in an international primary school. The majority of my students are Chinese but I can't idenify them as ELLs because we deliver our math lessons bilingually. While I'm striving to find the path to teach math in English more effectively. The biggest challenge right now is to balance the amount of English and Chinese langauge in math lesson. First we need accomplish Chinese national curriculum and also pass Chinese standarded examinations, which means students need certain amount of time to do written practice. Second we have limited time in Math lesson. I'm trying to find some teaching strategies through this free online course as a life-long learner.

I am Junior High School Mathematics Teacher in the Philippines. I have always been interested in teaching math since this subject challenged a lot during my elementary and high school days. I have never gained high grades in Mathematics during those days, and I have considered then myself as a student with mathematical anxiety. Mathematical anxiety has been one of my research interests when talking about mathematics education. In the field of teaching, it has really been my habit to find learning strategies/avenues where students may find it easy to learn mathematics. I have had a hard time managing to implement differentiated strategies in teaching mathematics, that is why I am enrolling in this course. I want to learn more teaching strategies in mathematics that will surely be effective in my classroom.

I am a observer, multiculturalist and philosopher.

I teach an elementary class in an international school in Germany.

My biggest challenge is to be able to debate and research about the theoretical basis of what I do daily.

Very often I can find 'how to...' information, visually engaging templates or fancy activities. It is very rare I come across any information which is of substance and dig deep into what we do from multi perspectives.

I find this is translated into very shallow understanding amongst our students.

I also find teachers have a natural tendency to be 'sage on stage' and any sign of 'I don't know how to ...' is deemed to be a weakness amongst colleagues, management and parents. This attitude is also translated into the students.

As language ability is a very visible  barrier to entry, it takes away the self agency of the learners therefore create inferiority complex or overcompensation.

I am hoping this course will provide me with more in-depth understanding of the area of learning and also open me up to a new way of seeing.

I believe my students' learning behaviours are as good as what I can model. I hope to create a better version of myself in the every moment of existence with authenticity for the greater good of the world.

I like to swim, day dream and observe, read and meditate.

Hello!  I am Jasmine.  I am a PHD student and an EFL teacher in Armenia. I have never been teaching math to my students. However, the course interested me a lot since it may contribute to my personal development.
In my teaching career I had several breaks, first one was when I got married, the second one was when my son was born, and challenges which I had were connected with those periods of my life, particularly they were staring to teach again, enter the classroom full of students, fear to fail. These are the only challenge that I experienced.

Johny Herencia - Former Police Officer and Helicopter Instructor Pilot; father of three children who give me a new challenge every day, the oldest of my son is already an Aviator and now studying to be an engineer, my second son also wants to be an Aviator and the youngest of my children will be a building builder and chef.
The little ones put me in the challenge of teaching them math in English, so here I am learning new skills. After gaining experience as a police officer and helicopter pilot, I changed to dedicate myself to the prevention of incidents by promoting Safety.
I have students who use both languages, the curious thing about my students is that most of them are adults, but they have special needs to learn tasks using a second language.
