Ellie, the Math Teacher
Ellie was a happy young woman who loved math a lot and wanted to be a math teacher. She got her first job teaching at a school where the kids were known for being full of energy—but sometimes they were too energetic and didn't listen well. Every day, Ellie walked into her classroom with plans to teach fun math stuff, but the kids would rather throw paper planes or look at their phones than listen to her talk about numbers. The kids would groan and ignore her when she tried to show them how cool math could be. There was one boy, Lucas, who was always playing tricks and making jokes instead of learning. Ellie saw that Lucas was very smart, and she wished she could get him interested in math. One day, the noise and mess in her class made Ellie sad, and she wondered if she was really supposed to be a teacher. She decided to ask for help from Mr. Johansson, an older teacher who was good at handling loud classes. He told her to find out what the kids liked and connect it to math. Ellie t
