DMI chapter 6

While reading DMI chapter 6, I began thinking about what I understand and don't understand about teaching math. I am beginning to feel much more comfortable when it comes to addition and subtraction, however I am still very much confused when it comes to multiplication and division. I am not completely sure why these two are so difficult for me, maybe because I don't understand how they work myself. Math used to be a subject that I thought would be so easy to teach, however I am now beginning to realize that it is not and it has become the one subject that I am very interested in mastering. I would love to continue taking math classes and going to conferences, etc. One thing about math, depending on the teacher, is that it can either be one of the most boring classes, or it can be fun and engaging. I want my math classes to be fun and engaging, and not a tidious subject that my students want to just get over with.
