Fischbowl: A Formula for Success

In this blog, the author made many important statements. The first point was that we need to expand our math lessons further than just the simple boring memorization manner. He suggested that we make learning fun and relate it to every day situations and problems. For instance, ask the students to relate a math problem to a candy store or to a popular clothing store. This way, math will be used in a way that students will know why math is important and want to do it more often.

Students need to take joy out of learning, not fear it. Math was one of my hardest subjects in school. If I had a teacher who made it fun, I would most likely have succeeded it that subject. I believe that by making a hard subject like math fun, children will take away only good from it!
