If there was an insurance policy for Math it would cover this:
My Math Philosophy covers what IS success in Mathematics and how I plan to insure it to the best of my ability. I believe in giving students a solid foundation of Math skills that students will need to know to be successful later on in life. These skills will need to be mastered so that they can easily transfer them to other aspects of their life - in the community, at home, at work, etc. I think it's extremely important to teach these skills through guided discovery and constructivism. I expect my students to take new content, connect it to prior experience or concepts, and apply it to real world/concrete situations. I believe a fluent mathematician, much like a fluent reader/writer, has much greater access to the world through the open doors of opportunity. More specifically, persons who can reason with math well can create more options for themselves.
