Math. What a daunting subject this can be for many students, including myself. However, this course in the B.Ed program minimized my worries for the inevitable day of when I will have to teach mathematics. Our professor broke down terminology used in the primary grades that I had never learned before, along with many of my classmates; that alone made the task of teaching young children math less scary. The course, in general, was informative such that it taught me how to recognize whether a student is able to subitize or count on. However, leaving that class, I still felt inadequate in terms of actually teaching a math lesson. In the second semester of math, I hope to gain a better sense of being able to do a lesson and explain how to work through a math discussion with students.
