October 6 Reflection - Better Late than Never Right?

So, I didn't do my reflection until just now but to be honest I didn't really know what to write after that class.  I feel better about the break it up strategy.  I think as a teacher I would present these different math strategies and let the students decide what works best for them.  I am not satisfied with students just getting the right answer, I like to know that students know HOW to get to the right answer.  I think it is important to show students that there are multiple ways to get to an answer.  I was always taught to solve problems using one method, and I think I would have done better in math had I been shown different strategies.
