Throughout this course I have been introduced to aspects of teaching mathematics that I was not previously aware of. I have wanted to become and mathematics teacher for so many years now, and am now beginning to have a clear vision of what my classroom will sound like, look like, feel like. Three big ideas that I want to focus on in this portfolio are assessing students, encouraging discourse among all students, and activities that produce productive group work. All of these ideas are highlighted below in the 4 artifacts; artifact 1 will be addressing assessing, artifact 2 will be addressing student discourse, and artifacts 3 and 4 will be addressing productive group work. Then finally you can find my personal growth statement by clicking on the button at the bottom of the page labeled 'personal growth statement.'
