Some things I have learned about Math this week:
- Architecture, nature, geometry, art and more consist of The Golden Ratio.
- teachers want to promote genuine math discourse within a community of math
- children and adults approach a math problem very differently, depending on what type of learner they are
- before children are taught strategies, they invent them
- when doing timed tests, have students write "I can do it!" at the top, then give them a goal to do better than last time instead of making them feel they have failed when not finishing all 100 problems in 5 minutes.
- that no matter what age you are, when math manipulatives are placed in front of you; you can't help but build things with them.
