Dr. Tim McNamara: Building the Instructional Tool Box in Math

Building the Instructional Tool Box in Math:

Dr. Tim says...

"The more students who can be actively involved the more the students get out of the time in class…Engagement lends itself to discovery…"

"When students discover they retain…students tend to hold those ideas longer…"

"Less memorizing equals more thinking..."

"Teachers should become students of mathematics…that way that they look at math problems in more than one way. They always should be learning about the ways students learn."

Tim helps teachers learn how to make math engaging! He introduces teachers to hands on activities that make students think! His classes are amazing! Teachers enjoy the opportunity to learn with him. He is a master teacher who makes teachers say, "I can do this."

I think that you will really enjoy listening to Tim. Check him out on-line at the following links:
