I thought I had left math class in high school. Turns out I was wrong! Since I just started my first semester at Brock University as a teacher candidate, math class and I will be getting reacquainted. If I am honest, math wasn't my best subject or my favourite. I struggled with certain concepts and never believed I was much of a 'math person'. I had a mix of good and not-so-good teachers along the way but ultimately I think math intimidated me. Luckily, I have the chance to learn how to teach math and make sure my students have nothing to fear! I hope to learn strategies to teach math effectively and my goal is to make math interesting for my students. I want them to be excited about tackling problems and not anxious (as I used to be) about having to take those problems home! Over the course of this semester I will post reflections about what I'm learning in class, tips and strategies for teaching math and best of all, I'll be putting it all into action when I go to my first placement! I'll also post useful resources along the way. This blog will also follow my journey through J/I Language and Digital Learners in a Digital Age. If you ever want to find my posts exclusively about math, click the label "math" on the sidebar. I'm excited to get started this semester and I hope I can turn that fear of math into history!
