When looking and interacting with the map, there are several areas that resonate with me. However, if I had to choose two, I would personally say that Extrinsic Motivation Discourses resonate with me, specifically Operant and Classical Conditioning, and overall motivation, needs and desires. Throughout my own math journey, I found it motivating when I was rewarded, this was not necessarily a tangible reward, but instead the praise of getting a question right, or making a positive progress. Lastly, When the lesson and topic accommodated my needs, interests and desires, I was more engaged and eager to learn. Therefore, I believe that teachers need to be attuned their students individual needs, desires, and interests to connect with them in a more meaningful and positive way.
