relational vs. instrumental understanding by Rushma Shah https://padlet.com/rushma_shah/8tjat4gnuz8m Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2016-08-29 14:35:55 UTC 2017-05-17 07:55:09 UTC hello@padlet.com This article reminds me of math is a kind of game that can be played with the full of fun with the different meanings and understandings.  Adding 1 into 1 can be understood and defined based on your understanding of math.  Example, Adding 1 glass and another 1 glass together into one bucket makes only 1 bucket of water but if you put one pencil in the box and later add another 1 pencil in the box makes 2 pencils in the box.  The answers depends on how the students are taught differently.  By providing a practical knowledge, it makes easy for students to understand math problems.  Verbalized math can be harder for the beginners.  In the example above, 1+1 is always not 2.  it can 1 too.  Instrumental understating for quick answers vs. Relational understanding is more to explore ideas.  rushma_shah https://padlet.com/rushma_shah/8tjat4gnuz8m/wish/120328073
