Reflect
My parents tried to help my daughter with her math homework yesterday. It did not go well. My parents left the table in frustration, complaining about the new math. I was glad to replace them in the homework helper position, but not everyone is so eager to help children with their math homework. There are so many different approaches you can take to solve a problem. Often a child says, “That is not the way my teacher does it.” You want to support the way that works best for your child, and you want to help him or her understand the approach the teacher is taking. In this discussion:
Give an example of a problem that has two approaches.
It can be something that you have learned differently than the way your child is learning the same concept.
It can also be a strategy you taught yourself to make a concept clearer.
NO REFERENCE NECESSARY TO USE. THIS IS A REFLECTION.
