[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were floored when our 2nd grader explained to us that in a problem like: 13+9 he'd change it to 19+3 to solve, by switching the ones. We asked if the teacher taught him, but he said that he thought of it. (Don't know if this is true.) We were completely stunned because we'd never thought of that because we were taught to memorize algorithms. I'm in the arts, but wish I'd learned math this way. Someone posted a video on this site recently about how you can take a double digit multiplication problem and how to draw it into an area equation. Very cool to think about math in this way. [/quote] +1 As a strong visual learner, I wish I had learned math this way as well. [/quote]
