The gameplan that I have been working on has been very effective. It made me realize that I can teach meaning and real-world applications without sacrificing content knowledge. Also, I learned that reflection is a great way for students to recall what they learned, so they may store the information more securely.
The new learning I developed while trying to accomplish my goals was that real-world applications open up many doors to activities and discussion amongst students. It also gives their learning purpose and it makes them realize that math is not just another course they have to take in order to graduate. Also, the applications get the students involved more and allows them the opportunity to think critically and problem solve. This new learning has made me decide to revamp my lessons and incorporate real-world applications at least once a week with my students. This will keep them on their toes and engaged in their learning.
As for technology, I plan on incorporating digital storytelling in my classroom as an attempt for students to review a unit. I also plan to utilize this teaching strategy for after the State tests because they leftover time seems to be quite monotonous. The students will feel like they are doing something exciting and different. Plus, I think allow them to incorporate their creativity will be fun for them and myself.
