Week 3 Reflections

I approached the class pretty much the same way I did last week, and I think everything's going pretty well. I think using the technology we use in class with Blogger, Edmodo, and Glogster, things are alot easier for us to comprehend. ecspecially with how much everyone is on the computer these days. We move around alot too which can really help us not get so tired. It's very hands-on and I think that helps everyone in the classroom. Our graphing calculators are very handy I enjoy having something that can get the answer without having to take time to work everything out. But, I do think everyone in the class should know how to work out the problems without relying on a calculator or Wolfram. Because, there will be occasions when we are not able to use them. My favorite part about the class so far is that we always have group activities and are able to interact with everyone in the class, and I never tohught I'd say this, but we actually have fun learning. We go out to the hallyway and jump around and shoot tweaties, there's nothing I could really complain about in this class. I don't think that even if I was a math teacher that I would be able to interact with the students and have the kids having as much fun as Mr. Fourneir has with us. All the games we play, and just the way he teaches things and has the classmates teach each other is really cool. Mathematicians show their work when they solve a problem so that they can prove that their answer is right. I don't have too many problems with equations unless they're word problems that you have to plug the numbers in, I have trouble setting those up. Plug numbers in for X and see if you can make a proper line to cross on your answer.
