Personal Concerns and Next Steps

Math for me has been an up and down process. I struggled a ton while in elementary but I had a good instructor in middle school and began to catch up and really understand it. I then excelled in math through high school. Now that I'm coming back to it I feel as if the "use it or loose it" statement is really true. This is class was overwelling the first few class periods but now that we have gotten into it and really started to examine how important math is to students and how teaching it is crucial to their learning I have new perspective on it. I know that one day I will be teaching these students so I need to value what Dr. Reins says and put it to use and remember this is what will be best for my students when I get into the classroom.
