Module 3 reflection by Rachel Carter https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn en-us 2020-10-29 15:34:52 UTC 2020-12-01 16:05:20 UTC hello@padlet.com The link among patterns and nature really stood out to me, as I never have looked at math from the standpoint. I think it would be interesting to look at treaty education outcomes in my district ( a recent curriculum development) and and link math to indigenous works of art and nature.

I have seem many of them before but some were of a flavour I hadn't considered before.

I wonder if there aren't better ways to illustrate that point?

I think children really need to opportunity to explore and come to understand concepts through exploring and experimenting. I often wonder.. how effective are prescribed curricula? https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/967179582 2020-11-28 16:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/967179582 Sounds to me that Ted is a typical abstract thinker. From my experience, abstract thinkers straggle the most to connect Mathematical ideas in a logical chain. I would wonder how he had overcome that problem. https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/967396292 2020-11-28 19:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/967396292 Catherine W https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/969367064 I really appreciated the different images that he used to explain geometry and the connection with the images from nature.

I never really looked at nature or ourselves and recognize how similar things are in nature in terms of design. Nevertheless, this video demonstrates that math isn't just memorizing equations]]> 2020-12-01 15:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/976176710 Patrick C. https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/976191839 I wonder how teachers can incorporate Eddie Woo's ideas of exploration in our current curriculum in Ontario]]> 2020-12-01 16:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rcart036/qnl8ces89ilvifhn/wish/976191839
