Liana’s Small World
I am Liana Corbin. I help reluctant math students and transitioning ELLs make connections and build competence so they can excel in their educational journey.
Let’s Help Kids LOVE Math!
In a recent poll of students, math was the subject that was hated the most. It received a whopping 40% of the votes for all the basic subjects!
I believe this is because some students struggle in the early years and the foundations were not set. Since math builds on itself so extensively, those students, if not helped, will continually struggle, and end up with feelings of embarrassment over their math ability.
So, what can we do to prevent this?
My free Number Sense Activities will get you and your student started on the path to Math success!
Help! I Have An ELL Newcomer!
I know the panic. Your registrar waited until 5pm to send you the email – you have a new student starting tomorrow who doesn’t speak English.
I designed my ELL Starter Guide for you.
This free download will give you the immediate tools you need to welcome your new student.
