Questions and Answers

When I started Math Methods, I had questions. How was I going to effectively teach my future students beings I do not fully understand math? Am I going to be a good math teacher? How will I apply the knowledge I do have about math to my students? All of these questions have bothered me since I have decided to become a teacher. I now realize that it is going to take a great deal of effort and time to become the math teacher I really want to be. In order to be an effective teacher, I am going to have to retrain myself to think in a constructivist manner. This is going to be a lot of hard work on my part but very worth it. I do not want my students to go through life hating math like I have. I now realize that math can be fun and you can teach and learn math in a variety of ways that enhances learning for all. I now feel that I have the knowledge to make myself a better and more effective teacher for my students.
