Introduction

Which of the following do you think is the best method to help develop a deep understanding of a new math concept?

Not quite. Although listening is an important part of learning new material, it isn't the best option for developing deep understanding.

Nope. Watching someone demonstrate how to do something can be very helpful, but it isn't the best way to develop deep understanding.

Yes! Having to teach or explain something to someone else is the best way to develop understanding.
