Math Autobiography
Ms. Sansom's Math Journey
I AM...
I wonder...
how to solve complex word problems.
I hear Mrs. Summer's teaching me how to calculate equations in ninth grade algebra.
I see my mom teaching her sixth grade students about fractions.
I want to always remember how student's can feel anxious when learning math concepts for the first time.
I am...
a student who gets nervous on math test.
I pretend that don't get nervous anymore about learning new math. (because, sometimes I still do!)
I feel ecstatic when I succeed at solving a math problem.
I touch manipulatives when I need help visualizing a math problem.
I worry about trying new ways of solving math concepts.
I cry when I have so solve proofs in Geometry.
I want...
to be a teacher who gives her students all the support they need to excel in math.
I understand that many students get nervous about math, just like I use to.
I say practice makes progress.
I dream of my students always completing their math homework (and showing all their work!)
I try...
to encourage my students to not give up on math!
I hope that my students always give their best effort in math.
I am a teacher who LOVES to teach math.
