The first thing I would say is to read an an article titled "Why Be a Math Teacher?". Then look on a website for math teachers and find a lesson that would work for your classroom and some classroom resources. Write about what you found on the websites.
I think the article is encouraging and explains that being a math teacher is a great thing. I liked how it was very encouraging. It talked about that today's students need more than the basics. They need to learn how to apply it and do it for their future in the workplace.
The lesson plan I chose was about significant numbers. I think the reason this website is helpful is because it has great suggestions in each lesson plans on how to approach teaching the subject. The resource I chose was The Math Forum. It gives helpful suggestions for math teachers and what they can do to keep up their credits and all kinds of things that could be useful for a math teacher.
This would be a good assignment to do. Telling of how they would apply the lesson they found would be a great idea. Also, providing more information about what you found on the site would be helpful and get others to look at the site. Overall, great post.
