Identify the topic(s).
From your perspective, develop the important student learning outcomes for the mathematical concepts from Week 1.
Include any rules and definitions that are important for students to learn.
Discuss strategies your future self or another future teacher could consider when developing ideas for teaching the concepts.
Share parts of your reflections that were meaningful to you and discuss why. For example, you might include observations of your own learning, the use of the learning tools, things that were surprising to you, connections you made, or any other topics that you want your future self or another future teacher to remember.
This is my journal reflection:
When I was in primary and secondary school I was on an IEP. I was good at math though. However, my work was modified down. My handwriting was big, and it took me and sometimes still takes me quite a bit of paper to work through problems. They gave me a piece of copier type paper and made about eight boxes. This was how I worked on my problem, and it helped me manage how big I wrote.
When I was in geometry, our teacher gave us an assignment of making a kite. The instructions were simple. The kite had to be a certain size (large), a non-basic geometric (circle, rectangle, diamond, or square) shape, and it was supposed to fly. My partner and I chose to do a hexagon made from a tarp, dowel rods, and some duct tape. At the end of the construction, we in fact had a kite that did fly and was the longest flying one.   Another project we had in the same class was pie day. We got to bring food in and the only rules were that it had to have a circumference of pie and it had to be nut free due to allergies. I made a cheesecake from scratch.
