Resolved to take a picture every day...captions optional, but sometimes very necessary!

yes, you can use your fingers to count.
I was always scared of math. We moved a zillion times during peak formative math years and I never really acquired any sort of math sense. I chose my major in college because I knew it didn't require any math classes. I was able to keep up with Will until about 8th grade and then Lee had to take over. Fast forward through all this math trauma and drama to present day math teacher. Yes, I'm a MATH teacher! Someone once told me that math is like a magic trick - once the secret is out, anyone can do it. My job as a teacher is to help kids become confident in their ability to discover the secret and that translates into reality. I'm living proof. And, to prove how far one can go -last week, my teaching partner and I presented at the National Conference for Math Teachers. So, hahaha on you, math!
