TE 402- Math!

So far, I feel like the semester in TE 402 is off to a great start. There are many aspects related to teaching mathematics in my classroom that I hope to gather from this class.

I hope to learn effective ways of integrating math into other subject areas in my classroom. Math is extremely important in every individual's life. I hope to be able to spark children's interests at the lower-elementary level so they gain a passion for learning math and an interest in continuing their math education in the years that follow. I, personally, do not enjoy all aspects that learning math entails due to negative experiences in my past. However, I hope to gather ways of being passionate about teaching math so that my students will be passionate about learning the subject. Finally, I hope to obtain ways of teaching effective math lessons in the classroom that will be both fun and informative for my students. I am very excited to see what else TE 402 has to offer!

Up to this point in TE 402, I feel that the class is very organized, which will aid in my success throughout the semester. I hope to gain as much as I possibly can before I enter my internship year, and with the instructors that I have in 402, I feel that this is absolutely possible. Both instructors seem very enthusiastic about the subjects they are teaching, which pushes me to be enthusiastic about the material I am learning!
