Important:
“Mathematics is a discipline that develops
intellectual power to solve problems; make decisions;
and describe significant visual, quantitative, and
symbolic patterns.”
When are we ever going to use this?
“It is a fundamental tool in the persistent human effort to
make sense of the world—its order, chaos, stability, and
change. It has applications, for example, in scientific,
technical, economic, and political work; in art and music;
and in our personal lives and social interactions.”
Problem solving exercises our brain!

My goal?
To teach you to think. (And we will learn math
along the way.)
Your goal?
Besides learning to think—is to keep me happy!
My favorite quote?
“Choices create circumstances”.
