New Insights and Their Implications

So far in this course, I have learned how to create activities that students will enjoy to help them learn more about math. I never would have thought about using some of the demonstrations that were given in class to develop the concepts we have talked about, such as the mean or scale factors. The math classes I was exposed to offered little hands on activity and more worksheet or practice problem format. This seemed to be ok, because I was interested in math, but I could not imagine doing that day after day if I did not like or understand math. These are great tools for getting all students interested in math and developing knowledge that they can use later in the class or in the following school years.
