If I Talk to High School Math Teachers and Students, I Would Ask...

Teacher:

1. How do you deal with students who are not interested in math?
2. Do you have any unique or especially effective teaching methods you would suggest to us?
3. What aspect of the job do you find most difficult?
4. How many hours per week do you work and how is this time divided between prep time and class time?
5. What do you find most rewarding about your job?

Student:

1. What do you like most about math, why?
2. What do you like least about math, why?
3. What could be done in the classroom to make it easier for you to learn?
4. What would you like to see or to do in your math class?
5. What do you think of the math teaching you have had throughout school so far?
