Summary & Synthesis

Math Methods has been an eye opening experience for me. Learning math was a hard concept and subject to learn. I have always had a somewhat negative attitude towards math, because it has been a trying subject. Since taking Math Methods I have learned a different way to approach a problem and learned the strategies to solving a problem. I have also learned that the way I was taught was more less repitition and learning the information for a test and less learning on how to discover strategies and patterns to problems. In Math Methods I have learned that students need to be able to have a solving strategy that they can justify and have multiple routes to explore for an answer. I like the alignment process. This alignment component provides a continious loop of modifications and improvement of learning and teaching.
