My reflection on the year revolves around the big idea of equity in the classroom. During the first semester of Math Methods, I read an essay by Rico Gutstein called "Mathematics as a Weapon in the Struggle," which focuses on the ways that teachers can bring students lived realities not only into the classroom but into the curriculum. Ultimately, the essay argues that in order for mathematics to be a vehicle for social justice and equity students need to learn through what they know, i.e. their personal and community assets. I wrote a summary, critique, and questions for the author, which are embedded here. I then presented the article to my peers on October 15, 2015 at Orange Glen High School. The emphasis for the second semester of Math Methods was Complex Instruction, a way for teachers to design rich and groupworthy tasks for students and advice to help teachers fulfill their role as the arbiter of equity in the classroom. Here I present some of my initial thoughts on Complex Instruction and its value in the classroom. I do not have artifacts that demonstrate how I used Complex Instruction in my own classroom, but I will say here that it is a method I will use for the rest of my teaching career. Finally, on the final day of Math Methods each teacher candidate presented an Ignite! to the class. I centered my presentation of Literacy and Mathematics because I believe in the importance of literacy to students' mathematical abilities, and because I am completing a credential in English and Math.
