Reflection on Assignment 3:

Our group's topic is "Creating a Positive Healthy Math Classroom Environment." When I was searching on it, I found this topic is broad. It involves many things. I tried to narrow this topic and focused on one or two key points. Although the whole idea of the presentation sounds a bit blur, we tried to focus on the importance of emotions in learning mathematics. I also wanted to involve much good advice from my teachers. In fact, my SA also gave me many great ideas on this topic. She has a well-managed classroom. She emphasizes building a rapport with students and getting to know your students. She showed me how to think from students' perspectives and put ourselves in our students' shoes.

Next time, I want to focus on the topic: How to Make Math Interesting. In order to focus on the main idea of the presentation, this topic wasn't talked about in detail. Making Math Fun is also a curtail aspect to keep a positive learning environment. Teachers could use various ways to teach Math. The way Math is taught could make learning enjoyable and fun or boring and difficult. I think this is also about how we engage students in learning mathematics. 

Through working on this project, I learned many concepts, such as strengths-based approaches, emotional engagement, problem-based learning, etc. I will keep learning on this meaningful topic.
