Think back on your math learning in Elementary School. What made it difficult for you and how can you make it better for your students?
What would be an ideal response?
I distinctly remember that my math experience in all of my schooling has been very frustrating. I never enjoyed math until this past year where I have to opportunity to refresh my mind on stuff I had learned at one point in my life. I felt that my teachers assumed that I understood how to solve a problem after walking through a different problem a single time with me. If I did ask questions, I felt that very often my teachers would get annoyed, react to my question in a way that made me feel stupid, or they would reply with something like "Remember? We divide!" (which did not answer my question fully). Because of their assumption that I would suddenly understand how to keep going, I felt stupid which discourage me from asking questions.
