using a graph. This will impact their future learning at higher grades within
the Manitoba curriculum.
Though both textbooks were very beneficial, more material and
examples could be added to help flesh out some of the topics that were not
explained in depth. There were however very good examples that got
students thinking abstractly about problems and how they may be able to
solve the equations in several different ways, not just one way that the
teacher may want to see. It was very well written in terms of showing
examples of what the textbook was looking for in the material; however it
lacked a little explanation on what students were actually trying to do, rather
than just saying you need to learn this.
For the teachers editions of the MY Math textbooks, the resources
provided were very in depth, almost too much. This impacted how I viewed I
would teach the lesson. There were too many details about what to say and
how to explain things. It didnt take into account multiple types of learning
styles and how students may react differently to different topics. Some
students are better at some areas than others and it seemed to measure
them all the same way. However some of the examples given within the
Teacher edition were very helpful to show how to do a specific topic without
just verbalizing what you want to see. This will allow teachers to try to
explain to the class in the best possible way, though still very restrictive on
what should be said. In the end teaching from a textbook is not the best way
