Week Nine Reflection

I think that I'm definitely at a Level 2. Because I understand these concepts at a more complex and developed level, I believe that as a teacher, I'll be able to help my students understand shapes and geometry at a basic level, but with the opportunity to improve and grow on what they already know. Geometry, like any math, is such a fundamental building block skill that has to be slowly learned through more and more information being grasped. As an instructor, it's important to understand your skill and content area at a deep and complex level before trying to teach them to students without a basis of knowledge at all.

  1. What do you mean by "a more complex and developed level"? How will you use the levels to assess your students? Once you know where they are- how will you develop tasks to encourage mastery of a level?
