Introduction: Welcome!

Welcome to my blog for EBDE 8P29 - Teaching Math! My name is Julia Chamberlain and in this blog I will be reflecting weekly on the pedagogy of math, ideas for learning, and integrating the classroom discussion into a basis for understanding how we teach and how we learn.

I think that there is a stigma when it comes to learning mathematics, that we ourselves can over complicate it and maybe cannot experience learning it to its full potential. I want to use group dynamics for problem solving, through games, activities, and discussions, we can find solutions together and create problem solving techniques.

In this course I am already beginning to learn that it does not matter of your background or experiences in mathematics because we all have the ability to learn it, we just all learn in different ways at different paces. I hope to gain from this course the knowledge to teach the subject, class room techniques, and also create a large scope of activities that can be used in the classroom to better the teaching of mathematics. As we learned in class today, there is a difference between not knowing the solution and just not having found it yet!

Me!
