In my classroom I want to incorporate small math tasks into different times during the day. I want to show my students that math is important and is used in everything. From how we do lunch roll call to time. Math is a part of it and I think when I can give them connections to the real world, in hopes for them to strive in understanding math. I want a lot of hands on tasks where the students can visually see the mathematics happening. I think that helps me out when doing math and it believe that by giving them visuals as one way to learn is so important. One main day that I am ecstatic for is the hundredth day of school. I want my students to be as excited as I am about it and that day will be packed with so much math! Counting, addition, multiplication, subtraction anything that can get us to one hundred!
If I get students in higher grades I want to create larger math tasks in practical math skills that they will need in the real world, things like writing checks, adding up the amount of things they are buying, planning with numbers. I think that all students need to know the practical math skills they need, but along with that, there is and can be more pushed and worked through.I want to work and create larger math tasks by using new technology as well. If I could get the students engaged in math through iPads, smartboards, and computer games, I don’t see any reason why I cannot make these games challenge the students to think deeper. I want my students to see math realistically and understand why they need it.
