Today was a whirlwind of information! I have learned so much, considered so many ideas, and hope I can recall it all when it comes time to use it in the classroom with students! I was asked some questions today that really surprised me how much I had to think about them when I felt they really should be easy answers.
What are the goals of teaching geometry?
What is the definition of a problem?
What skills does problem solving require?
Can you make Angry Birds like a math classroom?
How can I use this problem to teach mathematic concepts or skills?
Why cover concepts without giving time for understanding?
These are questions I have formed answers to, but still feel like I need to let them soak in and revisit before moving on. These will be the topics of future blog posts!
