I am currently in week two of my first set of Math for Elementary Teachers class. I feel that this is a very important class for anyone going into the Elementary Teaching field. Math is always very important subject and some people seem to get it and some don't. Hopefully with the help of this class I can learn how to develop the kids that don't and give the kids that do what they need to succeed!
One problem that I seem to struggle with is the teaching of the repetition and memorization. Most people that even get math, do not actually understand how exactly or why it works, they just have been taught to memorize and apply formulas. Hopefully with new tools we can get past that a learn how to teach reasoning!
