I think one of the most informative things we did this semester was looking at the Errors in class. It was so helpful to actually sit and look at what a student did and try to figure out what they were really thinking when completing the problem. So many times in school I felt like teachers would just simply mark when I got an answer wrong and never really looked at what I did wrong in my computation. Doing these errors in class I was able to get practice on analyzing students responses. I think this will really help me in my classroom be able to identify what is really going on with my students.
Another helpful thing from these errors was learning different ways to teach my students mathematics. In 107 and 108 we got a taste of the different ways to try and look at the math problems and solve them but I feel like with this we went more in depth. I was able to see even more ways to do math for my students. When trying to teach students the traditional way to do addition or subtraction, if they do not understand it I now have a way to try and help them understand it. I will be able to present these problems to my students in a way that actually makes sense to them so they do not just think of math as a subject they just don't get and can't do. After completing these errors I will be to adapt to my students and accommodate their needs in mathematics.
