Personal Concerns and Next Steps

When I first entered this class I was very concerned that I would not be able to understand the concepts because of the 'new' way of thinking we are supposed to do. Math is not something I have ever been very good at so when I was told I was going to have to forget everything I already knew about math and learn it a different way, I was not pleased. I am starting to become more comfortable in the class but I'm still not sure I am learning the material with a 'new' of thinking. I wish I had a more open mind about math but it is really hard for me to enjoy this subject. I hope that this class gives me the ability to look at math with fresh eyes. Maybe if I learn how to look at math with an open mind I will enjoy the subject more. Hopefully, if I begin to understand the subject better I will reflect that onto my students in the future.
