Many times, teachers spend endless hours preparing for a particular class day. They could have worked the entire weekend on a certain concept like Pythagorean Theorem. The teacher explains the concept to the students and they have the "deer in headlights look!" That's why I find it imperative to be able to use other tools to engage the students for better comprehension. Pythagorean Theorem denotes that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two (2)legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. Well, that might not register for a student, but I can show this video and the light will click! What a way of communicating and what a feeling that the student now comprehends the concept a little better!
