Concerns
After being in this class for almost a full semester, I think that teaching math this way is a much better method than the traditional method. However, I do not feel that one semester of being taught this method is in no way enough to prepare us for using this method in the field when we become teachers. I think that if we are expected to use this method of teaching math, it should be incorporated earlier in our education. This way, we are taught this method sooner and we are able to practice it throughout our careers here as students. I do not feel that being taught this method the semester before studn3et teaching is fair to us. Especially if we are expected to use this method of teaching mathematics. Having said that, I will coninue to practice using this method so that I am comfortable with it because I do believe it is an excellent way to teach children math.

Samantha, I agree with you completely. I commented on Abby's post and also stated that we should have been introduced to this concept sooner. I think that we should of been introduced our sophmore year and built on the concepts each semester so that we could have walked away feeling more comfortable and understanding the process more.
