From this semester, I learned about why math history should be incorporated into math education; how simple math and algebra was done in ancient methods; how to teach math in different ways, such as art, dance, physical interpretation of proofs; how mathematics and mathematicians were perceived at different time periods; and how to teach mathematical history to a class through our assignments. The insights I take away from these experiences is that there are many ways to teach mathematics and it isn't always completing worksheets and writing exams. I have also learned that mathematics is art and beauty, through the multiple art forms that math creates, from dances to creative tilings. I think that this course has been educational and insightful, so I don't really have any specific feedback other than that I enjoyed the course very much and learned a lot.
