Besides that, you had a nice logical flow, clear points, and a professional tone.

However, your second paragraph is great. Reading your post made me think about how Dr. Siebert told us that we needed to be consistent with the terms we use on our own blogs and how important that was. It's interesting how relevant this issue is in all fields, not just mathematics.Emily Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14218491519141712663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305496736552575948.post-88796990830221765862010-03-27T16:38:19.289-06:002010-03-27T16:38:19.289-06:00I was a little confused by the way the first parag...I was a little confused by the way the first paragraph started. The last part of the first sentence, however, worked well as a topic sentence for this paragraph. I liked how you described the main issue that the authors were addressing, and even provided an example of how students might not understand the different meanings associated with slope. I wondered if the authors addressed ways to help students develop a better understanding of these ideas besides just to explain them well. The concept of slope is difficult enough that usually students need more than teacher clarification to develop correct understanding.<br /><br />Your stance toward the main idea was clearly stated in the topic sentence of the second paragraph. I also thought you did a nice job of supporting your stance throughout the paragraph. Once again, I wondered if teacher explanation would be enough to help students develop correct conceptions about slope. What do you think?Dr. Daniel Sieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368158973200343666noreply@blogger.com
