There are too many times that I rush to the algorithm just because:
-because I am running out of time
-because I am not getting class participation
-because my students have been spoon-fed that way for much of their math careers and I could go on. I must allow my students the time they need to develop and build the concepts and also let them know that struggle is OK. It is one of the ways we learn and we appreciate what we learn.
