New Insights and Their Implication

Before taking this class, I had heard some pretty interesting stories. I heard it would be one of my biggest challenges so far in my college career. So, I braced myself for quite the adventure. I really really enjoy math and all of the concepts that go along with it. This class is very different than any other math class I have taken in the past. A lot of the learning happens on our own time through reading. I have found this class to be pretty challenging because it is not straight forward like other classes and we are required to think critically and problem solve on our own. My favorite part of class so far was the activity we did last week that involved mean standard deviation with the washers and the sticks. It was a good hands on activity and it was an activity that I learned a lot about. This was an activity that I grasped very well and was able to ask intriguing questions about! I was on the top of my game this day in class! I look forward to the rest of the semester because this math class really teaches us how to get children to think about math in a different way. The class forces us to think like a kid again, and that in itself is pretty fun!
