Blog Post 12: Math

Mathematics is typically a huge part of schooling and is seen as one of the major subjects. I find math to be a subject I enjoy and is something I could say I’m fairly okay at but it hasn’t always been like this. Throughout middle school, there was great emphasis on memorizing and just knowing the answer without having to take time to figure it out, however, I was not one of those students and I fully struggled with that…

To be a culturally relevant classroom, it has to aid in the development of students’ competency when it comes to culture and its relevance, as well as raising their social consciousness. How I want this to look in my classroom is that it becomes a place where all my students can relate and have a place to learn about different aspects of cultures. It may be harder to do so as I’m going for science/math which typically does not involve…
