Being in the dual degree program I was excited about this course for some time. I was finally going to learn all the magical curriculum and nitty gritty teacher things that everyone else seemed to know. However this is not what happened and I am so glad I was wrong. 

Throughout this course we were able to learn so much more than the BC ministries requirements. We were able to explore different ways a math class could look like and how to incorporate different elements into a math class. Its very reassuring to know that our future math classes do not have to be boring, sad places but rather fun places with activities and diverse styles of learning. I particularly enjoyed learning about how to incorporate other disciplines (art and dance for example) into math and as a way to learn math and demonstrate mathematical learning. 

Another interesting and unexpected element were the weekly problems. Although they were something I occasionally struggled with, it was refreshing to see the creativity and diversity of other people's solutions.

Overall, this course was a delightful way to expand my idea of what a math class could be and I am excited to see what will come next.
