Mr. Wolfram believes that utilizing computers to teach math is beneficial to students. I must say that I completely agree with him. I truly believe that having computer activities for children helps them keep more engage than a long math lesson or something written in paper. Children become interested in technology at a young age, “Why not use computers as a resource to teach math?”. Creating a math program that we could see the students progress will give us a better understanding of the strengths and struggles of each child. Moreover, Mr.Wolfram wants to incorporate more real-life problems into math curriculums so students are able to apply these math concepts into daily lives issues. By having these types of problems students will realize the importance in mathematics.

This video was very interesting and i couldn’t agree more with Mr. Conrad.  I have never looked at Math as being a subject or skill that could be taught to students without using pen and paper. This may be because of the traditional way that I was taught math. However, it is true times have changed and our ways of teaching skills should change as well. We are living in world that is becoming centralized with technology all things are being transformed from hands on to computerized. Therefore, I believe that our Mr. Conrad is right we are exhausting our time teaching students how to compute when we have computers that can do these things for us. I believe that we can grow as teachers, society and country by developing our students minds where they can see how math works and use computers to manipulate the problems. If the students can be apart of the math problem they can understand it better. This will help them enjoy math and relieve students of math anxiety. Using computers can help our students become great engineers and inventors.  Using computers can help our students relate math more to real life problems.  This was a Great presentation and an eye opener. It gives a hope for the future student as to what math can and possibly will become.

The first thing that came to mind was-“make some popcorn”.  Well, I’ve never weighed or measured popcorn not even a before and after it’s cooked. Still with a little experimenting it might be fun (but also messy).  I recall, teachers putting a bunch of books next to a card board box. Then asking us to stack the books in the box, so all of them would fit. Sometimes it would take an individual student several attempts. Using arts and crafts to make 3d objects, boxes, cylinders etc. will help to understand the height and length. For younger children the phrases full, empty, half full, almost full, will help them to begin an understanding of volume. Keep it simple “how much space does an object need to fit into. Introducing capacity at a later age, will also help them understand volume.
