Course Reflection

Reading thorough my old posts I have written during this term, I realized something interesting. When I read articles and had to write reflections on them, I found them quite interesting but did not really reinforce those thoughts in myself. I thought they all had great ideas, but I did not pay attention afterwards. As I worked on various assignments for the course, including the math art project, two micro teaching lessons, and the final unit plan, and as I experienced many different teaching philosophies and styles of other peer TC's, I gradually became more adaptable to accept and change. Like other courses that have emphasized diversity in the classroom, the EDCP 342 course has helped me to accept others' opinions and behaviours. I liked how we had chances to experience different aspects of teaching almost every class. The class activity where we discussed how formation of desks affects students' learning was very inspiring. It allowed me to think about other possible...

Math Art Project - The Magic Path

Our math art project was based on  Margaret Kepner's A Magic Knight's Tour . A knight's tour is a path that visits each cell of the 8 by 8 chessboard once in knight's moves. All the moves are connected with black lines, and we can see that it is a closed magic path, where a starting point can also be an ending point. Observing Kepner's art, we realized that the inner squares change colour every move in a specific order. As there are 8 colours that were used, the colours keep changing, and the sequence repeats after the 8 colours. The background colour also changes. The first 8 outer squares - the first colour being red since the small black circle is the starting point of the path as described - are red, the second 8 are orange, the third 8 are yellow, etc. The colour black is used when the inner shape's colour matches the outer square's colour. In this way, there are a lot of interesting patterns that have been embodied in Kepner's art. It was at fir...
