I believe that watching other students do their LPU's I have gained a better understanding on how to show students concepts through the use of manipulatives and not simply an algorithm. I also noticed that watching my own peers teach a lesson helps me connect with new teaching ideas. I didnt realize the different ways to teach a math lesson until this class. Manipulatives play such an important role in the learning and I feel that the LPU presentations have been doing a great job of providing examples on how to teach children math.
