New Insights and Their Implications

Math has never really been my favorite subject ever. So when I signed up for this class, I was a little hesitant and really didn't want to have to take it. I wasn't really sure what we would be doing and just expected everything to be out of the textbook and not really doing problems and activities in the classroom. I have learned a lot of different fun activities you can do with your classroom dealing with math. And the input from other classmates really helps me to understand a concept I maybe wasn't too certain about. That is an aspect of this class that I do like. Not everything is done by the teacher, he expects us to do the work and even go up to the board like today and explain ourselves. My favorite activity to date is the one we did with mean. By first having to figure out without any math what we think the mean is and then putting the washers on them and hanging them up to see where it was even. This is something I learned a lot from and was fun to work on too. Sometimes some of the stuff we do in this class are way over my head, but continually doing activities like that, I think should really help with my understanding of math so I can teach it better to my students.
