Personal Concerns and Next Steps

I thought that our midterm exam was actually a fun exam to take and work through. It made me think in a different way and I actually got “to do” math instead of worksheets – which is what I enjoy. Math has always been my favorite subject and I hope to teach it someday. This class is starting to help me make connections and show what the important aspects and concerns of math education are. I am starting to think about teaching from the starting point instead of showing students a formula or equation and telling them “this is the way you solve this problem. If you do it this way then you will get the answer right.” I’m looking forward to learning more and walking into the classroom with a different mindset each day.
