Personal Concerns and Next Steps

Throughout this semester I have been introduced to many different teaching strategies when teaching math. However, I still feel lost, and concerned about how I will be able to use these strategies when I become a teacher. Math has never been my strong suit, but I do know how I learn math, and the different approaches we have learned this semester are not any of them. My guess is because I have only been taught the traditonal way of learning math when I was in school. In a way I believe this has hurt my confidence and understanding in this class but it is important to learn different approaches because all students learn differently. Although this class is very frustrating for me, I still want to learn this way of teaching because it can benefit the students I have in the future.
