This type of lessons cause students to think about the concepts, to understand where answers come from and how they are created. Traditional lessons require more memorizing and lots of practice.
The majority of my students won’t memorize or will only memorize long enough to pass the test. How much better it would be if they understood how to think through a problem.
My reservation is my ability to create lessons like this, and I always struggle to know how to solve problems in different ways, because I didn’t learn that way.
