I've been teaching since "the earth cooled". My husband also teaches, and together, we've been doing it for 80+ years! I currently teach "mathphobics" at a local community college. Math is my specialty, and I believe anyone can learn this dreaded subject if taught correctly. My classroom is always energetic and includes many hands-on activities. Occasionally I sing, show math movies, and even do a few math cheers!
