New Sights and Their Implications

My experiences with have been more so up and down. I catch on to some things in math easier than others. Basically math and I have never been a good match. But I have learned recently that when teaching math to the elementary school students is that we need to have the them see the connections. Like seeing how mean can be describe differently than just adding up all the numbers and then dividing by that number. Teaching the students about mean absolute deviation, standard deviation, also even using median, and mode. I may not be explaining this well but all these things are connected to each other one way or another, but it does depend on how you present these areas to the students. Also this class is making you think on the other side rather than what you already know based on what you were taught. This kind of thinking is hard to do and does make learning a little confusing until you catch on. The important thing is to ask for help when not fully understanding what it is being taught. It is interesting to learn from a different view point that can help students better compared to the way most of us have been taught in the past.
