Episode 1 - Teaching Math

2014 post

Oh no!
I have known about teaching this math unit for about three weeks now - I'M STILL NERVOUS!!! The one subject I feel very insecure about, and I have feared for most of my educational career, is the one that I am responsible for teaching - Math. The first preparation I had to begin with was personal. I felt that I needed to come to terms with my fear, and feel really confident in what I was about to teach. Otherwise, my teaching would be phony and the students would be able to pick up on it. If I can't understand a concept, or don't feel comfortable about it how can I expect my students to accept my lesson and succeed in it? The process of developing more comfort with math is ongoing for me.
