Summary and Synthesis

Throughout the semester I have learned a lot of new methods of teaching mathematics. The midterm exam was an excellent way for me to put together the information we have learned so far this semester and apply it to teaching mathematics. I feel as though occassionally a method of summarizing what is happening in class, that way you can put a grasp on what you have learned and apply to teaching.

summary and synthesis

What I think so far about this class has changed in a way. I first thought that I was just in no way going to be able to get it or grasp any concept, but I have and that is good. The teaching method that you have adapted and have taught this class in is making a ton of sense now that I see how it is supposed to be done and what is expected. I do feel better know that I have the first test done with and now I know what to expect. I am sure that I still have so much more to learn and am still excited to do so. I think I need to understand more about the whole philosophy but think I will get there.
