Chapter 10

As I was reading through our wonderful textbook, I found something that really caught my attention and that was the whole of chapter 10. For a person who does not know most of the basic facts in Mathematics, I found the chapter most helpful not only for the children but for myself as well. Of course before this, I have never known that there were 'Big Ideas' in Mathematics or we could make 'Mathematics Content Connections'. This chapter would help me out a lot because I do not want the children to learn the same way I did when I was in school. Using the strategies in the chapter would be so much better than forcing the children to listen and just accept what I say.
