Summary

I enjoyed learning how to use all the manipulatives we used in class and the different ways that they can be used to teach. I liked learning why we do the steps we do to solve math solutions instead of a rote method of trying to memorize. I enjoyed watching the CGI video in class, it was good to see an example of how it is supposed to work in the classroom environment. I think the CGI method could be very beneficial for students as long as the teacher can guide the lesson and engage the students in the activity.
