Re: Great Teachers
(Anonymous) 2013-10-02 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)Mr. Green, my geometry teacher--the laziest man alive. He just sat at his desk--I swear he napped--while we developed proofs at the blackboard and expounded them to the class. The best test of whether you understand something is being able to explain it to others, so this was great practice.
Mr. Waters, advanced algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus, and Ms. Brooks, the calculus instructor, were a little more hands-on, but basically had the same approach; the students taught each other.
And of course before any of them, there was my dad the engineer and natural teacher, who was horrified when he heard me say that girls are good at things like English and art while boys are smart in math and science (I was ten, and I'd heard other girls say it, so I had some excuse here). That day he went out and bought Schaum's Outlines of algebra and geometry, and that evening he sat me down and explained the commutative, associative and distributive properties to me. We had some of our best father-daughter bonding moments at the kitchen table or sitting on the porch over those books.
Re: Great Teachers
I never added to this because I had such a fucked up relationship with school, but I also had a dad who was fascinated by math and technology and always wanted to share it with me. Yay for nerd parents!
