New Insights and Their Implications

One of the biggest things I have learned from the instructor is that it is easy to forget content from high school. It has been so long since any of us have had that level of mathematics, that it is easy to forget certain terms and definitions. I also learned that questions will arise as you are teaching that will be hard to answer. I really like the questions that are on Dr. Reins's website. They are questions that students often ask that I think would be difficult to answer on the spot. It will be a great resource for me and all of us when we get our MQFC questions and responses turned in. I believe it will make me better prepared for my first years of teaching. Some simple things that I have learned from my peers are ideas for different lessons. I enjoy hearing responses from my classmates on different ways you could teach a unit or lesson. Often times I find it hard to think of different ways to teach a lesson, so hearing input from my peers opens my mind up.
