New Insights and Their Implications

After the last couple days of class, I have become less scared of teaching. Having my own classroom and teaching has always been something that I want to do and am excited to do, but covering all the content and material and reaching the standards was a little daunting. But with the new knowledge of the standards and how to read them and find hints and tips on them makes me feel much more prepared to teach my students. I now know where to get ideas, right from the people who wrote the standards, for lessons about math that I can use or use as inspiration to teach my own lessons.
