7. Real Life Application of Division

      Connection is key in math in my opinion. If I as a teacher can get my students to connect math with their everyday life, then it will be a lot easier for the students to achieve the right answer more often. Also this would give the student an opportunity to lose some of the restrictions they put on them self in math. Lose that intimidation feeling (Hopefully).

Reflection

·       If a student likes cooking, then I could ask them a baking question maybe. If a recipe says it will make 16 muffins but that would be too many for the family to eat in a week that 8 would suit the family better. What would be the steps that you would have to figure out to achieve 8 muffins?

·       It doesn’t have to be cooking but it can be anything. The connection is what drives the student to think and to want to learn. Using any method possible will only help my teaching career.
