I started researching the New York State mathematics education standards to see what the students I will be working with are expected to know according to the state. I had been frustrated in the past with some of the students because they were having a hard time understanding some of the topics we were trying to teach.
I found that they aren't expected to know some of the things we were trying to teach them until sixth or seventh grade. This made me feel better, knowing that the students weren't necessarily supposed to have prior knowledge of the material.
This might make me change my plans as far as which Design Tools I decide to use at the Boys and Girls Club, or the age group of the kids I work with.
