New Insights and Their Implications

I thoroughly enjoyed the instructors way of teaching how to find the area of polygons. At first I didn't understand what was going on but looking back I understand what he was trying to do. It was a great way to show us how to teach a topic so students actually understand what they are actually doing. I had to look up the the Picks -Therum. I needed to see it to understand. I am not one of thoes people that can pick up a math concept without being shown how to do it. I understand it better now but I needed to see what I was to be doing. Implications include a better understanding of how to teach concepts about math so students understand what and why things work. I can teach in this style with some small changes for the different ways students learn.
