New Insights and Their Implications

Over the past few weeks, we have learned many aspects about math. The block activity stands out the most for me and I feel I learned a lot during those two days and trying to solve the problem. The activity helped me develop problem solving skills and really think about how I was thinking. I was shocked when we tied this activity to the standards. It fits multiple standards but only pieces of each standard. When we broke down the standards, I found it very interesting how you need to really look into the wording of the standards to get the real meaning out of them. I think it is crazy how much money is spent to revise the standards when we already know in two years they are going to change.
