I liked how this chapter was broken down into someone’s thoughts, and then the step by step thinking and how it was put into lesson planning and implemented. I was able to relate to the types of ideas that speaker was going over, and I could see how he took those ideas and put them into action, or into a tentative.
I loved the many examples that this chapter presented as simple exercises for helping students grow in the subject. I especially liked the idea of the activity/ game Tic- Tac - Sales. This activity could easily be improvised in many ways and its fun, yet on topic. Even better, a game like this forces students to try certain problems while still providing choices for students to choose the problems they are going to try to solve and mark.
I was really glad that this chapter provided different, alternative ways to get students involved by using something they always jump for. For example: the problem that was used in the book based on giving students vacation days for perfect attendance. That example is such a great way to pull students in since vacation day are something that they are not only interested in, but also it relates to them, and the students are doing the math being practiced is a fun way instead of the traditional way. I also really liked how this chapter showed so many real life examples for the math problems. By bring in real situations where math may be in the students lives, I think it helps the students see why math is important to learn.
