After watching the videos on Math and Music, how does this
information impact you as a teacher?
The most important information I gained from these two
chapters was to keep an open mind. At first glance, I didn’t believe either of
these subjects would be relevant to my intended profession (secondary teacher,
language arts) but after reviewing and thinking about the information
presented, I see that’s not the case. There will be opportunities for me to
incorporate the beneficial effects of music in my curriculum, whether it’s
including music in the classroom environment or incorporating music in my
assignments. As to math, I learned the most about questioning my assumptions
about the innate abilities of my students. If pigeons can do math and
chimpanzees can plan warfare, then any student in my classroom has the
potential to surprise me with their hidden abilities.
