Reflective Math Journal (EDBE 8P29)

  Hi! Hope everyone had a lovely week 3 and 4! Here is what I had to share about my journey. Math Image from Vecteezy I am amazed at all the math resources we have navigated in our course already. When I look back on the math classes I had growing up, I remember a lot of worksheets, textbook questions, and tests. The highlight was always when we got to take any sort of manipulative out and have some fun learning math.  It is amazing what one can learn given the appropriate measures and guidance to do so. For example, in class week 3, we were asked to get up and out of our seats to do an activity. We were first intrigued and were able to connect to the Friends Pivot Video and understood the connection to the activity we were going to do. Learning rotations, translations and transformations can be a difficult one. From Chapter 18, we know that students should learn to describe an object's position, plot points and coordinates, as well as construct shapes and manipulate them (Sma...

Welcome back!  Each week I will take the time to reflect on my journey and post something I learned, challenged me, or helped me understand who I will be as a future educator. The following is my first post from the first two weeks of the course.  KindPng. (ClipArt image).[https://images.app.goo.gl/ajFtB4iakjsfihcXA]. Considering I have a math teachable, I was excited about this course. What I have come to realize through my experiences learning and teaching mathematics so far, is that being good at math does not mean you can teach it. Thinking back to prior courses I have taken, I can remember when were the learning opportunities and difficult moments. For example, learning what Pi represented by measuring out the diameter three times with string to make up the circumference was something I still remember. I always enjoyed mathematics because I grew up going to a French school and it was the only subject I was able to apply my knowledge in both languages equally. Even when so...

 Hi!!  My name is Piper Roobroeck and I am a concurrent education student in the J/I stream with a teachable in mathematics at Brock University. I am currently enrolled in EDBE 8P29 a teaching mathematics course where I hope to challenge my prior knowledge to create a positive environment for my future students in regards to learning math.  I hope you follow along on my journey
