Errors/reteach reflection

I really enjoyed this activity. I found it fun and interesting. It was like playing a little math game. It was also really eye opening because I never realized some of the strange ways that my future students could possibly misunderstand math applications. I really liked that we were asked to think of a way to reteach the coordinating topic for one of the students. This is an important practice that I think some teachers forget. If a student does not fully understand the math concept at least 90% percent of the time I believe a reteach is a must. I know of plenty of people in my high school who were placed in a lower math class because they needed to be retaught a lot; which is a weird concept. However this is how my school made sure everyone was getting the right math education at the right level. I think teacher avoid re-teaching because they feel that it will take away time from other material that needs to be coved. Which is the truth, but how will the student understand the new material if they can’t even understand the current material? As a future teacher I will look for these possible errors or misunderstandings with my future students and reteach when necessary.
