New Insights and Their Implications

I came into this class expecting to work out of the textbook or with worksheets, completing various math problems while also discussing how to teach these types of problems to K-8 students. It has been a little bit of a frustrating transition to thinking of math problems in this way because it is totally out of my comfort zone. I am a math person. I love math and I have always been relatively good at it, but this class makes me rethink that all together. It makes me realize that I really only learned math on a single level. So far, I really like this way teaching math. I am also a SPED major, so I am also thinking of how this type of teaching would help SPED students. Though it's tough for my brain to switch gears, I am really enjoying this new way of thinking about math problems.
