Introduction

Hello friends!

My name is Mark, and this is my blog. This is where I will be talking about math, hence the name of the blog itself. I am working on this as a project for one of my university courses, but I am looking forward to posting regularly and sharing my ideas with you. More specifically, this blog will be an opportunity for me to explore my own ideals and findings with relation to math in the education system.

Before we get started on the mathematics aspect, I should probably tell you a little more about myself. My career goal is to become a high school math teacher. I know that for many people this sounds like the least interesting goal ever, but part of the reason I am looking forward to this blog is to show you that its not.

I want to work towards ending the stigma that math is dull and difficult.

Because when some people think of math this comes to mind

 With the right motivation, engagement, and a little bit of hard work, math can be extremely interesting and rewarding. I know this because I have experienced it first hand. I hope to one day become a math teacher that can engage his class in math and destroy this stigma one student at a time. I hope that the same class I am writing this blog for will teach me different techniques and ideas to help me accomplish my goal.

Such ends my first blog about math with Mark. I look forward to sharing ideas with you and learning more about math! Until next time.
