In July and August of 2009, I have the great opportunity to Study Abroad with Michigan State University in Cape Town, South Africa. While I was there, I was able to see several sites, and spend a month teaching at South Peninsula High. Needless to say, I learned a great deal from this experience about both the culture and myself as a teacher. This trip has had one of the largest influences on me as a teacher, which is why I feel it is so important to share with those who want to know more about me and my practice. Enjoy!
The document below is from a lesson I used to show students how I saw mathematics around me during my trip.
