Summary and Synthesis

After doing research on my presentation for CGI math (addition and subtraction) I gained a deeper insight to the way students comprehend and mentally solve math problems. Students use a variety of manipulatives, drawings, and other hands on objects to help compartmentalize areas of a story problem. The videos that were shown of a classroom using CGI math were helpful because it is easier to see CGI math being done hands on rather than having the concept explained verbally in our class.
