Personal Concerns and Next Steps

Throughout my entire education, I have always struggled with certain aspects of math. Geometry was one part of math that I have always done well in. However, when the questions about why we use the area formulas came up, I had no idea how to even think of a reason. This class has taught be a lot about what is behind the basic fundamentals we were all taught to memorize. I worry, though, that I am not fully aware of how to teach such ideas because it is still so new to me.

The CGI model that we have been talking about is a great tool to keep in mind and to think about when it comes to teaching math. I look forward to seeing all of the different and creative strategies my future students can come up with when solving problems.
