    My Epiphany

     I realized that what my struggling first graders needed was not just remediation; they needed a better math teacher. This realization has led me on a journey of introspection and a quest to seek the best ways to build number sense for students who struggle to make sense of the world.  Getting a chance to learn from the top math professionals at the NCTM Annual Conference would help me become that better math teacher my students deserve.
