Reviewing substraction with renaming.

We watched a video on reviewing subtraction with renaming. It showed us how children were taught mathematics in primary schools. It is so different from the way I was taught when I was in primary schools. Before, we did not have much hands-on experience with numbers. Everything was straight from the text and the classroom structure is different from before.

The lesson on polygrams is very interesting. It is a good idea to introduce area. I learnt something

new. It is interesting to know that all squares are rhombus and squares are special.
