An Introduction to Math

Hey Everyone,

I would like to take a second to introduce myself, and my relationship with math. I have a learning disabilitiy with math that highlights a difficulty with cognitive understanding and my working memory.  With this in mind I have always struggled with math throughout my academic career.
In elementary school I spent many nights crying because I didn't understand the expectations, and I felt very overwhelmed with how I was taught to learn. In high school I spent many math exams in a separate room, with formula sheets, and the use of a calculator. Needless to say, when I entered the classroom on day one I had many fears regarding math.


Although, I am highly optimistic that I will rediscover passions for math that I never knew existed. I enjoy the open concept, and inquiry based learning. I also enjoy that the curriculum doesn't implement right or, wrong. I love that the curriculum has introduced level based learning.  I hope to explore these adaptations over the next two years so I can successfully alleviate the fears of my prospective students in the near future!

Looking forward to it!
