It was a camp for junior high school students and I got to teach them in groups and one on one with each student. I was in locum parentis for one week with each group of junior high school students.

math? This is an age old question asked by the majority of high school students. Math teachers throughout the years have been exhausting themselves with how to get their students interested in math. One way to get their pupils enthusiastic for math could be as simple as giving them a purpose of doing the math by teaching them the history of it.
