Math is a very important element in everyday life. Students should be able to see it as such. They need to apply it to the world around them. Instead of just doing problems that have no relevance to life, make real connections for them. In my experience, the three biggest obstacles to learning are a student’s belief that math is boring, math is impossible, or math is irrelevant.
Math has three different components: curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The curriculum involves the knowledge of the subject matter, what to teach the children, and when. Simple knowledge of how children develop math concepts is important to understand. Instruction is the actual teaching of the subject matter. This again involves the concrete, bridging, and abstract order of instruction that best promotes student understanding. Being able to explain a new idea in several different ways is a wonderful asset. But, a good teacher lets the students help explain mathematical notions to each other. Discussions are more beneficial for the children to teach each other than recitations. As a teacher using discussion benefits and promotes good instruction. Assessment is an essential component as well. By using proper testing techniques a teacher can gauge how much students already know, how much they need to know, and what they learned.
My teaching experience and I have remained convinced that good teaching has to involve students actively in their learning. One of the characteristics of a good teacher is that he or she is fair-minded in their dealings with students. I have always been guided by this principle and am always open to students challenging the marks I have given them on tests and assignments. I have always endeavored to provide students as much feedback as possible on tests and assignments. Math is a very important element in everyday life. Students should be able to see it as such.

Overall, the main idea a teacher should convey is that math is and can be fun and exciting.
