New Insights and Their Implications

I have disliked Math ever since I was a little kid.  I have dreaded every math course because they are always alike; completing problems out of the book or worksheet.  However, this is the first math class that I find somewhat interesting.  It requires us to use metacognition and deeper thinking.  This is a challenge for almost everyone because it is so much different than what we are used to.  My head was spinning the first couple of days but after I believe that I am now beginning to fully grasp that all mathematics connect to one another.  This new concept will help me become a better teacher and hopefully allow my students to understand mathematics better.
