ASSIGNMENT 2 -- Compose a Philosophy Statement of the teaching approaches I intend to follow in your own classroom in relation to mathematics and how it reflects/embraces a Christian worldview (600) words.
Here, I want to follow the teaching approach called -constructivism- because it is learning by doing. It is experiential. Mathematics is repetitive and experiential.
Constructivist philosophies focus on what students can do to integrate new knowledge with existing knowledge to create a deeper understanding of mathematics. Each philosophy identifies the student as an active participant in the teaching and learning process. What a teacher does to foster the integration and extension of knowledge among students can and should vary. Indeed, Principles and Standards suggest that good teachers use different strategies at different times for different purposes.

Constructivism reflects the teachings of Jesus because Jesus is experiential too. So this is how I apply to the Christian worldview. Learn by doing. Christianity is not limited to what we hear there must be an application outward your self and learn by doing, by extending grace and love to students especially to those who are struggling. Attached is a pdf how constructivism can be applied to the Christian worldview.
That would be my Philosophy statement.
