Bev Point taken..:-) I guess this is all about deep content knowledge and teaching for understanding. When the discussion moved from particular programs (ie Every Day Math) to the nature of teaching for understanding and what it might take to do so, we, to me, moved from off topic to way on topic, especially if you have been reading ellin's latest book. You may be crochety today, but you are one smart lady! ;-) Jennifer In a message dated 5/3/2008 1:46:40 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
But...to me, it's all the same issue. Teaching/pedagogy/learning/understanding. And not to play the blame game, but when the roots of math pedagogy are so miniscule that they can barely be identified as roots, the profession has to take over teaching teachers, or we'll never teach kids. Is there anyone that thinks that visualizing, questioning, inferring, etcetera isn't how we learn math? Bev, who is really feeling crotchety today! **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight?
