Final Reflection

Over the last few months, I've appreciated the progression, engagement, and diversity of ideas in this course a lot. I've learned how to develop lessons for mathematics education in a creative way and become more cemented in my teaching identity. Math has always been able to lend itself to more interdisciplinary ways of structuring classes, and yet, it's so easy to get caught up in the lecture style that has less efficacy in inspiring today's students. That led to why I really loved the activities we were able to try in the garden. Having the opportunity to try outdoor-learning with a STEM (inspired) class made it seem a lot more achievable, and I'm so much more likely to try recreating that experience for some of my future students.
