Cyberbali contents

Welcome to the Math page

I didn't start out as a math teacher many years ago when I landed my first non-university teaching position. I was a 6th Grade classroom teacher, but somehow over the years, I became known as a math specialist. To tell the truth, it's my favorite subject to teach because math is everywhere, and I just love finding it everywhere. This page is one of the most widely visited of all the cyberbali.com pages because my students regularly used it. I hope that you will too.
