Ask Yourself
remember the formula for the volume of a cylinder OR Know how to find the formula if they have forgotten and use it to solve a bigger problem
@mraspinall Is it more important at the end

Today's math classroom is about facilitating change. Rote and repetitive practice is still important but can be done outside
- f the classroom.
Engaging students in mathematics is crucial. Today's math classroom is not quiet. @mraspinall

Don't reinvent the wheel. Make students accountable. Less teacher driven, more student inquiry - helps answer the "why" @mraspinall
