Presentations are a wonderful way to connect us with other people in other countries. As we explore their customs and culture we come to a better understanding of the world around us and its people.
Giving the students an opportunity to learn customs, eat different foods and learn traditions and languages helps them to see that the world around them can be very interesting and enjoyable to explore and do research on, in hope that one day they might be able to go there in person.

Learning that math can be FUN!
At an early age will build confidence and security when approaching any new equation in the future. Engaging students in different ways to learn helps them to see subjects in a different way. Math is one of those subjects that can be very intimidating for students and anything a teacher can do to help them feel at ease and relax in the classroom, I believe will help them to approach math with less fear and more fun!
