PERSONAL INFORMATION:
Hi! My name is MICHAEL LOSINSKI. I am a student of Memorial University.
My present area of study is the intermediate secondary program offered by the faculty of education. I completed a pure math degree in 1994, and then proceeded to achieve a minor in history. Before I started my intermediate secondary program at mun, I use to work with a great company that supported my education, and was Quite flexible with my hours. I worked for a company called:
If I didn't have the drive to
become a mathematics teacher I would not of ended my career with British
Bazaar. British Bazaar was a great place to work.
MATHEMATICS:
Math is the reason why I wanted to become a teacher. I have always loved solving mathematical problems, and quickly found out that I had the ability to tutor students. So I decided to become a mathematics teacher. One of the courses I am taking this semester is Ed. 4161, Math Methods. The course instructor, Mr. H. Andrews, introduced us to a new, interactive, level 1 math course called Math 1204. This course is changing the way mathematics will be taught in the very near future. I am very excited about this new interactive approach. Mr. Andrews had us develop, and present a lesson, from this new level 1 course, to our education class. I believe it was a great success and I will be saving this lesson for a future level 1 class of mine. To view this lesson please click Lesson Plan.
Math can be very exciting
and fun to teach. The new level 1 math course, 1204, is a course
that needs to be exciting and fun. I believe that in order to get
good results back from these level 1 students, math teachers need to be
creative, and learn to have fun. Some really informational and fun
sites for math are:

Group projects:
I would like to share with you a group project that I had
to submit for Education 4361.

I would like to say that I really enjoyed working
with the members of this group. I especially enjoyed the developing
of the skit that we had to present in front of the class. I never
laughed as much, all semester, as I did when we developed the skit on behavior.
It was a great stress reliever.
