Summary and Synthesis

In class we have continued learning how to incorporate problem-based learning into our elementary classrooms. I have realized exactly how much work this type of teaching will be. It is going to be a challenge but I have also learned that there are resources out there to help you. Also, you can use other teachers and the students themselves to help generate ideas. Throughout the classes, our classmates have done a wonderful job explaining a couple math concepts using this style of teaching. Using their lesson plan, the students will have a better chance at understanding the concept fully and not just go through the motions because the teacher told them it was the correct way.
