This video gave such a great perspective on how best to interact with the students in all different ways. Within one lesson, you can incorporate many different activities, group chats, class discussion and hands on work. When the video first started off, I immediately recognized how comfortable the students were with the Tiffany and how they were very engaging. Listening to the different questions Tiffany asked the students and how she made the lesson a conversation was great. When Tiffany was being evaluated, I found it important when Dr. Royce pointed out that not only could you ask what happens when water gets too cold but you could then follow up that questions with what happens when the ice gets too hot. A simple addition to the question could be beneficial for how the students think of the process in all different ways. Comparing this to my education growing up, my teachers were not as hands on and did not incorporate such great activities and resources into the lessons. When the videos express the importance of relating the lesson to real life situations is important because I think that could have been very beneficial for me when I was learning that material.

Math can be a dry subject to teach compared to other subjects and I think it is important to have different resources at your disposal at all times. Trying to find some different resources, I came across this website that provides some awesome material with some different ideas. It has math worksheets, holiday math, and interactive math. This can give ideas on activities you can design on your own or use these from the website. Looking through the site, you can go from Kindergarten math up to precalculus. I think this can add a little fun to math classes.
