Did you like math as a kid? If yes, then you might have read about this teacher from Quebec who has been making headlines for a while now. If you didn’t like math, then I guess we can live vicariously through reading about this wonderful teacher who made learning math fun for her students.
Mathematics is a bit of a challenge to learn if you have a teacher or a mentor who is just going to teach from the curriculum and then call it a day. Learning anything takes a bit of technique, a few shortcuts, and a lot of patience. So reading about how Christina Orlando is helping her students to learn math is refreshing.
Personally, I think it’s super cool to solve math problems without crying! (Or crying when teaching math, in case you’ve seen the video of that little boy teaching his sister her homework)
Who is Christina Orlando?
Orlando was born and raised in a small town in Quebec. Her journey to become the most loved math teacher is one of resilience and determination. Her love for math at a young age is what paved the way for her career as a math teacher. However, she is so much more than just a math teacher.
Orlando is a mentor, an innovator, and an educational leader. She knows how to make use of her educational psychology degree and her years of teaching experience to provide the right guidance for her students. Her approach to teaching math, where she caters to each student’s needs by tailoring the traditional teachings with modern technologies, has made her a role model to students as well as other educators.
How Orlando Communicates With Her Students
Orlando was a passionate teacher. She stands out for her innovative teaching methods and her unique way of making learning math both enjoyable and rewarding. For students in Quebec, Christina has become a well-known figure who can make innovative teaching methods by not only focusing on traditional approaches but also combining them with modern strategies and techniques to make every learning session into a life skill.
Being a teacher for over a decade has given her the experience that she needs to teach effectively. With the diversity in Quebec classrooms, Orlando has been able to learn and pick up on different ways one can teach different students. She understands that every individual is different in the way they learn, and instead of throwing some formulas and a traditional teaching style to all the students and expecting them to understand everything, she knows the style that would suit every single individual. She doesn’t just teach formulas and figures.
Critical Thinking Skills and Lifelong Lessons
Orlando fosters in her students critical thinking skills, and problem-solving techniques, that wouldn’t just make sure that the students learn in class and get good grades, but also makes them fully grasp the importance of mathematics on a daily basis and helps them to better their lives with the teachings.
Christina Orlando is a paramount example when it comes to teaching, especially a complex subject like mathematics. She has the right idea when it comes to teaching each student with their level of understanding in mind. Her dedication to teaching comes from her interest in math from a young age, and that clearly shows in the way she can shape the young minds to develop a love for math.
The personalized learning experience is something that is very underrated and would be beneficial to both the teacher and the student, and it makes me really happy to know that there is someone, let alone a math teacher, not only understand it, but also implement it in her classroom.
