Philip Lloyd has been a very successful mathematics teacher in New Zealand since 1967.
Philip's personal guiding principle or philosophy:
To teach Mathematics using REASONS not RULES.
Mathematics must not be taught as “a set of rules to follow”.
It needs be taught with real understanding.
There is a big difference between:
“Knowing” a thing and “Understanding” it.
To INSPIRE students the secret is......ENTHUSIASM!
A teacher needs to be enthusiastic all the time!
ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS!
ENTHUSIASM CREATES ENERGY!
ENTHUSIASM IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN EVERY ACTIVITY!
