My Weekly Report and Reflection 1
Hello everyone! Through weeks 2-3 in mathematics class, I learned many valuable lessons that I can use in my future carer as a J/I teacher. For instance, using manipulatives, group work, and discussion when giving the class questions on course content aids in demonstrating the various methods of solving equations/problems. During week 2 , the class was given building blocks as a manipulative as well as paper and markers in order to solve a problem of: “There were 10 people in a group, all had to shake one another’s hands once. How many handshakes were there altogether?”(Khirwadkar, Week 2, 2018). When my group (Math Magicians) first read this question we make a mistake at solving it. Yet, as mistakes are always areas of learning and improvement we quickly realized that: 10 people X 10 handshakes = 100 handshakes total was, in fact, incorrect and needed to be rethought. We then again read the question and using trees as seen below we figur...
