The big takeaway is using visuals to help students explore and discover relationships. Pi makes a lot more sense when students can visualize and discover the relationship as opposed to just being told there is this strange number we use when working with circles. Also, try not to give away too much vocabulary, that is more information that is beneficial if brought up by students. I wonder how we can incorporate more geometry throughout our curriculum to help students see the link between geometric visuals and math concepts.
