Chapter 2 reflection

In this chapter about exploring what it means to know and do maths ,i learnt the various methods and ways of the theories influences .The main two  theories  are the construstivist theory and the sociocultural theory .
In mathemathics i also laernt that its more then completing the exersice but finding for the solution and checking to see if the answers make sense .
not only science is of processes but maths is also a science of concepts and process of a regular pattern .in this chapter i really like the fact that they gave us the setting to do amths which is very appropiate .it allows the children to find a different method of solving the problem and it requires a higher level of thinking .
in this chapter ,there are a few exercise which we can try and they give us solutions and the pattern in it . i find it challenging and i had a great time trying to solve it .
in piaget theory ,is about constructing knowledge and tools to additional new knowledge .its more about reflecting and ading new schemes to modify the exiting ones .In vygotsky's theory is not about the physical space but a symbolic space created through the interaction of learners with more knowledge .Its like a mechanism by which individuals belief .But ,most importantly both the theories emphasize the learner building connections and the understanding can be defined as a measure of the equility and quanitity .
