New Insights and Implications

I enjoy learning new ways to teach mathematics to my future students. When I was an elementary student, I don’t remember learning the way that Dr. Reins has taught us. My teacher just gave us the algorithm and had us practice it. By not learning through manipulatives, it makes it hard for me to understand how to do everything, but when I finally grasp the concept, I know I will be able to teach my students different ways. Also it is necessary for a teacher to know why we use a certain algorithm. This way he or she can teach their students and they will truly understand.
