NCTM Research Chapters

I read both of the chapters from the NCTM book this week. Once again I am stuck but what a difficult job elementary teachers have. The idea of having to teach something as basic as using a ruler is mind boggling to me. Teaching calculus sounds like fun to me but teaching measurement sounds like a nightmare. I am very thankful that there are talented teachers out there who enjoy teaching things that I don't think I could.

  1. I agree. Way back when I was a new HS teacher I was asked why I didn't start out teaching elementary and work my way up. I could not do what the elementary teachers do - teach all subjects to the same kids everyday. BLESS THOSE OF YOU WHO DO!!!!!!
