Reflection - 22 September 2010 (H)

This course has opened my eyes to the other side of Mathematics. It has not only shown me that Mathematics can be fun, but also how it can be fun. Initally, one of the few main activities which I would provide my children is the common practice of using manipulative to teach counting, or the use of commercialised toys. However, after this course, I have learnt many more new fun and inteeresting ways in which I can teach Mathematics to my class. Despite their age leve, which is 3-years-old, I can always attempt to simplify the activities so as to suit their level. Although I have yet to learn more about the different ways in which I can teach Mathematics to children in more interesting and fun ways, I feel that this course has truly benefited me in my line of work as an Early Childhood Educator.
