Math in China

This blog is part of my project of a study of Math in China. I have been awarded a grant by a wonderful organization that do care about teachers. Fund for Teachers. An exploration of Chinese methodology in mathematics instruction is the title of my project. I will be attending a conference in Shanghai about Math Education, interviewing some teachers and also sitting in on classes. All that in China... so, a great experience.

Awarded!!!

They gave it to me...

YES!!

I knew it, I was sure that in case of being awarded the letter would begin.

You have been awarded a grant....

Nothing else... No other words to begin the letter....

And my dream came true.

I work in the Bronx. Hellooooo!!!

Guys, students, people around there...

Don't you see that over there, for you are many opportunities waiting?

I think that I am a clear example. No citizen, a very bad visa, J1, a teacher.

I asked for a grant to go to China to attend a Math conference all expenses paid. They gave it to me. I take it as a great opportunity to learn about Math, to become a better teacher and to learn how to teach better. Apart from that I will do a nice trip to China and I will learn about a another culture...

We should all have dreams.... in case of having them I am sure that they will be there waiting for us....
