A Reflection on my Learning Throughout this mathematics course so far, I have learned a variety of tools and activities that I can use in my future classroom. I have really enjoyed the collaborative aspect that has been seen in the majority of our mathematics problem solving activities. Working with peers has helped me tremendously with my mathematics skills as sharing problem solving ideas with peers really helps my thinking process.

Welcome Everyone To My Math Blog! My Name is Nicole Simioni, a current teacher candidate at Brock University. Some of my passions include education, working with children, health, fitness, and the environment. Since this is my math blog, I will be posting all things math related. I will be blogging about different math strategies, activities, strategies for success, and how to make math engaging for all students! Through this course I hope to learn how to effectively teach math inside my classroom. I hope to learn new teaching strategies, collaboration activities, and how to make math engaging for my students. I hope to become more comfortable with math curriculum documents and also become more  confident with teaching math in general. Thank you for visiting my first blog post. I invite you all to continue visiting my blog and read about all things math and education! :)
