“Based on the vision you elaborated last week, what role will math instruction play in your classroom and why?  Specifically, what are the mathematical instructional techniques or methods that fit with your vision?  Be as specific as possible.  These can include assessment, planning, or interactive teaching.” 

Math instruction will be a key component during my day-to-day  instruction.  I think it will be important to integrate math as much as possible on a daily basis. For me, math was one of the harder subjects for me when I was growing up.  I was constantly working hard to make sure I understood what was going on, so I could stay up to date on what we were learning.  I think a lot of students have a similar struggle with math, so it will be important to make sure students are understanding what they are doing.  Whether that means taking more time to go over a task and pushing everything back, then I will do it.  It will be important for my students to have as many resources as they need to be successful math learners. Interactive and hands-on math lessons will be important; I want the students to feel like they are in control of their learning.  This will allow them to explore math on their own and encourage them to be involved with math at their own willingness.
