Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everyone, and welcome to my math blog! I'm still semi-new to blogging, so I'll try to do my best!

Anyways, hi! My name is Erin, and I am a recent Queen's Bachelor of Music graduate, with a specialization in voice. (And with enough credits for a second teachable in Drama!) I'm really looking forward to this new school year, and I really can't wait to get into a classroom and start teaching!

So...Math...

I haven't taken any math courses since Grade 11, but that's totally ok! I used to be a bit apprehensive about teaching math to students (since I wasn't the best math student way back when...) BUT school has changed a lot since I've been in it! I was also told that there are right and wrong answers, and nothing else in between. I was always afraid to ask questions in class, and therefore, I didn't do so well. Somewhere along the way, I kind of gave up on math (Sorry math!). However, since being in this math class, I AM FEELING HOPEFUL AGAIN! I'm actually excited to learn about different strategies used to figure out different problems! I want to be able to help the students like me, who say they aren't great at math. I think that everyone has the potential to learn math; they just need to keep a positive attitude, and find out what works best for them!

I'm hoping that this blog will help me to rid my worries about math, and to help me become a strong and confident math teacher. I want to be able to grow not only as a teacher, but to learn as a student. I hope my fellow classmates will help me out with some feedback, and I hope that I can encourage them as well!
