First Blog--Eled 330

New Insights and Their Implications - What did you learn from your peers, from the instructor, and/or the readings, about elementary school students, and/or about yourself, and the teaching and learning of math and what are their implications to teaching and learning mathematics?

I learned many new things since class has started. I have learned that I will need to teach many different ways to solve the same problem, and that different students will use different entry points. I l earned how important it is to not just give solutions to problems but to encourage the students to find a solution. It is very important to allow the students to struggle for a little bit before helping them. I also learned that I am very nervous to teach math to my students.
