Reflection on the poem

Reflection on the poem
There are times that we think of math as an abstract, rigid subject that we are dealing with. However, there are methods and tricks that we can use to hide that abstractness and by doing so we can deliver our points more sufficiently to our students. One of these methods was writing my thoughts and a poem on the two subjects, zero and division; I found that we can give a little bit of softness in the abstractness. This is a great method to use in order to understand the concept better. For instance, it is difficult for some people, especially high school students to understand or remember that if we are dividing any number by zero, our answer is infinity, or goes to infinity. By using methods like writing poems and thinking about each concept differently and then combining them together we might feel division and zero as two real things. This method takes away the stress about the abstractness and it makes it more fun and attractive to listen to. Also, we are able to lead our students’ attention to the main concept in a better way. It is also useful to give such activity to our students to understand what and how they think about math and how they can learn it better. So I believe it is both ways, one way is that the teacher who makes the poem and provide the information in the it, and the other way it to get the students do that , so that we as teachers can understand their thoughts about the concept.
