New Insights- Blog 3

The new insight I have gained from our work with the CGI method will not go to waste in the future!  It seems to me that with this approach, we are giving students a real shot at understanding and appreciating mathematics.  In the classroom, this method could be a valuable tool for figuring out how each student learns by what methods they choose to use to solve a problem.  By understanding the different methods used in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, students would be better able to see why different pieces of a problem go where they do in a mathematical sentence.  I cannot imagine how I could not use this method in my classroom since it proves to work so well in studies and with myself, who previously didn't appreciate the importance of CGI in the classroom.
