Chapter 1 of the textbook was very engaging, as it defined the terms, it gave great examples that allowed me to reflect on my thinking and problem-solving strategies, as well as it listed some strategies that may be helpful to students when working on problems.  This week I was the ‘Word Watcher’ in the Reading Roles discussion.

  Hey everyone! My name is Jenna Stanbury and I am in my fifth year of the Concurrent Education program at Brock University, with my two teachables in French and Mathematics! I have a passion for education, and I can't wait to collaborate with other teacher candidates who have the same passion and who also enjoy mathematics!   I will use this blog to personally reflect by connecting the methods, strategies and content taught throughout the EDBE 8F83 course to my experiences, ideas, and opinions. To me, mathematics is a fun way to think critically and to solve problems, so I want to use this blog to gather new ideas and to build off of my own experiences to bring together ways to engage students in mathematics! I hope to use this blog as a platform to gather strategies to use the mathematics curriculum in a fun and engaging way in the classroom! It is extremely important to ensure all students are being taught the content within the curriculum, so I hope to explore fun and inte...
