Reflection of Completed Mathematics Classes
While taking the various mathematics classes listed above I learned and deepened my understanding of many mathematical concepts in numerous fields of mathematics. These classes are important to consider because they show that I have a strong understanding of mathematics.
Reflection of Area of Circles and Sectors Slides
I found the lesson that I taught with these slides to go well and that the number of example problems that I included on these slides to be the perfect number of problems for helping students to learn and understand the material while not spending any time unnecessarily on problems after the students already understood the material.

Reflection of Praxis Score Report
This is my Praxis Score Report, which shows that I have an excellent understanding of the mathematics content that high school mathematics teachers are expected to understand.
