How often though do we forget about the real world when we teach math? I had a mean, median, mode experience when I taught Grade 5 that reminded me why "real world math" is so important. With this, comes thinking skills. Even our youngest students need to be taught to think about math. This is a great reminder of that!<br /><br />AvivaAvivahttp://adunsiger.com/noreply@blogger.com
