New Insights and Their Implications

Math has always been a subject that I have struggled with. I think it is in large due to teachers making me memorize formulas and ways of solving problems, but not putting any meaning behind it. So far in this class we are learning the process of math problems and the reasons why we get the answers we do. Explaining how we come up with methods of solving problems is helping me understand why and how we come up with the correct answers. Learning this in class will help me to teach my students, so they can understand the process of math and hopefully have a better time learning it than I did!
