Over the last couple of months, I have learned some important teaching strategies for teaching math. This way of teaching, was not the way I was taught growing up. I am very scared about this new teaching strategy. I hate math, and I am concerned that my attitude will rub off on my students. In learning this new strategy, it’s scary, because of what I was used to, now I have to change the way I learned, so I can teach my students. In this class, I have really been challenged to understand the material. Over the last couple months, I have gotten frustrated with the assignments and readings because it’s forcing me to think about math in a completely different way. This class is a struggle for me, but each day I am learning little by little. Hopefully this new way will have a positive impact on my future teaching of mathematics.

I have to agree with you that I get frustrated with the assignments and what is truly expected of us. This class is a struggle for several people but if there is no struggle then what is there to truly take in and learn. When you learn something new there is always a struggle involved until you get a grasp on the concept.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this class was very frustrating at times! I found the book very hard to read, but I think all math books are hard to read. It's just not something I want to read about and I like math! I can't imagine what it would be like to read if I didn't like math. I have learned a lot throughout this class, but it really pushed me out of my comfort zone as a student. I hope that I have learned enough to help me become a better teacher.
