New Insights and Their Implications

Math has always been a subject that has come easily to me. Throughout my education, I have memorized formulas, and use them correctly to find the answers. After starting this class, I have found out that formulas are not everything. There needs to be a reason for the formula and an explanation for why. I understand that everything connects to each other. This class had made me think of different ways to solve problems, and sometimes it may take more work for me to understand because I am not used to this kind of concept. However, through learning these new concepts, I will be able to teach children at a younger age. When the concept actually comes up in later grades, they already have some understanding and it will be easier for them.
