I am attending the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics Spring Conference to learn new ideas and ways of teaching math. I teach special education and my students are behind grade level in math. While we have a good curriculum in my district I still find that I need additional and more creative ways to teach math to my struggling students. They work best when things are visual and hands-on. I am planning on gaining some new insights and ideas on how to teach math to my students. I also want my new skills and activities to give my students confidence in their math skills. My students frequently state that they don't like math or they don't want to do it each day. When math comes up on our schedule I want my students to feel confident in their skills and I want them to look forward to the activities we are doing as much as they look forward to reading a new story or doing a new science project.
