I remember working on a lot of large projects where I fully immerse myself.]]> 2021-08-05 01:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669467852 epsteinl6 https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669473493 I began to take advanced and AP classes. Math begins to feel competitive amongst classmates. My later years in math I am one of three females in my math classes of males. ]]> 2021-08-05 01:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669473493 epsteinl6 https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669476323 I take math classes where I am in large lecture halls. The classes are not very interactive and I begin to feel very confused in my math classes.]]> 2021-08-05 01:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669476323 epsteinl6 https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669488418 I teach math to elementary students. I felt nervous at first when students would not master concepts, but I begin to shift my focus on what students accomplish. We use lots of manipulatives.]]> 2021-08-05 02:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669488418 epsteinl6 https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669499552 I begin a Master's program to become a Math Specialist. I take a lot of math classes where we focus on the conceptual understanding of math.]]> 2021-08-05 02:22:30 UTC https://padlet.com/epsteinl6/ku93qm5pu86reb2d/wish/1669499552
