Questions and Answers

When I started this class I had a negative view of what math and did not want did not want to have to teach it. I never understood why fractions are inverted when dividing. Why can't we just multiply across? Through the fraction bars and cosine air rods I was able to understand more about fractions and why we have to do invert and multiply. I also learned that pictures and representations of the fractions can help students understand fractions better then just given them a formula. After doing the activities in class I feel better about fractions. I am also nervous that I will not have time to to do CGI with my students and my question is how do teachers fit it into the day? I definitely want to make sure that I am using CGI with my students because I believe that it is one of the best ways to teach math. I may not be able to do CGI with my students every day but I know that I will make a great effort to do CGI with my students at least twice a week.
