[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know specifics about Eureka, but here’s my opinion on methods in general. Understanding the math is what’s important, and the mathematical principles are independent of method. All the methods are designed to help with understanding. If the method is not helpful with understanding the math concept, teach them whatever makes sense to you. Just make sure that whatever you teach them is mathematically correct, and that they understand WHY (the relevant math concepts) it works. Once they understand the underlying mathematic principles, the teacher should be able to explain the method. In any case, understanding the actual math is far more important than learning the procedure for a particular method.[/quote]
