Tricks are not for kids or college students!
Holly Thornburg, a Family Science and Human Development major, discusses the value of finding the WHY in math problems
Posted in: Student Experiences, Students and Alumni
Holly, and her fellow students, found their previous thinking of finding quick and easy tricks of solving problems reverted in Dr. DiNapoli’s class. He encouraged them to take the extra efforts to answer the WHY aspect of each problem.
Through this I realized so much more meaning and purpose behind each problem giving me that “aha moment” when reviewing elementary math which I hope to pass on to young children as a future teacher.
