I noticed when I was in college that most of my Chinese friends had a better understanding of math than my American friends including me.

This book looks at the mathematical preparation of Chinese elementary teachers as compared to American elementary teachers as a whole. From subtraction with regrouping to dividing by fractions and compares how both groups differ in teaching the same ideas.

It is a worthy read especially for teachers who teach math at the elementary levels and how important that knowledge is in developing the basis for mathematical ideas in young minds. ]]> AuthorFollowing107288089 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:39:01 -0800 <![CDATA[<AuthorFollowing id=107288089 user_id=616808 author_id=54493>]]> ReadStatus8988606886 Mon, 27 Jan 2025 18:23:46 -0800 <![CDATA[Jennie started reading 'The Women']]> /review/show/7220280246 The Women by Kristin Hannah Jennie started reading The Women by Kristin Hannah

A fascinating story about two brothers who became famous.

They did everything together. They played piano from a young age expanding to the drums and guitars. They worked hard and were musicians as opposed to rock stars.

Alex described Eddie as sensitive and that he expressed his emotions with his guitar - going on to become one of the best guitar players ever.

Also an honest look at alcoholism that haunted the men in the family.

A beautiful tribute and an insightful perspective! You can tell he misses his younger brother. ]]> ReadStatus8926918847 Wed, 15 Jan 2025 18:46:02 -0800 <![CDATA[Jennie wants to read 'The Women']]> /review/show/7220280246 The Women by Kristin Hannah Jennie wants to read The Women by Kristin Hannah
