Hello, my name is Colleen and I'm a teacher candidate at Brock University. I am in the concurrent education program year 5 and my teachables are math and French for grades 7-12. I have recently gotten married and I am excited to start this year off right. This blog is for the math education course EDBE 8F83 and I will be using it to keep track of what is going on throughout the coursework and to reflect on what we have been taught and how it could be incorporated into the classroom setting. I will be blogging weekly to see how everything will progress and hopefully it will help to prepare me for my placements later on in the year.
Throughout this course I hope to learn how to get my students motivated about learning mathematics. I have seen a stigma around mathematics that has made students disinterested in mathematics to the point of hating even the word "math". I would like to show the students that math can be fun as well as how math relates to the real world, while still teaching the students the curriculum that they are supposed to learn. I would also like to see the connections between this course and my previous math courses as well as my previous education courses to see how math and education can be combined to form the math classroom. I am looking forward to this upcoming year and all that it has to offer to prepare myself and the other teacher candidates for the following years to come.
