Day 1- MSTF

Day 1 at the Math and Science Teacher Fellows program led to a variety of invoked emotions. I came into this program excited at the potential of integrating science into my math program. As a math teacher with a science background, I see how closely related and interdependent these fields truly are, and therefore, I came into this with great enthusiasm toward achieving this goal. Learning in slightly more depth about the variety of fields that my peers would be involved in served to further peak my interest in this program. When learning about my field, I was a bit stressed about the high level of physics involved in my research area with the Center for Biophysics. However, I am viewing this as a learning experience and a chance to greatly broaden my horizons. I am hoping to gain many new ideas that I can incorporate into practical applications of math in science in the classroom.
