These have been becoming an intrinsic part of mathematical art. Our group worked on John Critchett’s Algorithmic digital art. It was very new experience, espe...

math experiences

1.          My uncle was a great math teacher. He had a great reputation and respect in our area because he taught many students. It always inspired me to be a math teacher by his working. I always wanted to be a teacher like him. 2.        The main frustration about math which I faced was about theorems. Sometimes, I could not understand those properly, and I got frustrated about math. 3.        Mr. T in my back home, was my favorite math teacher. He was the first person in my life who showed me a relationship of math and arts. Usually, he used to recite mathematical poems in the class which gave me great relaxation. 4.        There was Mr. A , a math teacher. I did not like him at all because he never tried to explain the concepts in the class. He used to give us a lot of homework. I started cramming formulas instead of understanding them.

Skemp on two approaches

Respected teacher Good Evening Here are some of my views regarding the article By using the term Faux amix, Skemp tried to distinguish between relational understanding and instrumental understanding.

Sometimes we notice that teachers have to finish the syllabus within time and they explain how to plug the values in and get the right answer. Actually, this approach never let the children to become innovative. Their imagination flight remains limited. They make their way through fixed plans only. For instance, in our daily life we see the people who are more dependent on GPS, are often fail to understand even the regional geographical locations because they never tried to think without that. On the other hand, relational mathematics opens unlimited plans because it clears the concepts. W...
