Dave Hewitt Video

I was quite impressed with the teaching methods that Dave Hewitt presented in his video.  They were unlike anything I had ever seen before.  What I liked most about his method was how it forced students to do the math mentally as opposed to writing it all on paper.  I believe this is an important skill that one should learn but one that unfortunately is not often emphasized in classrooms.  Hewitt's method addresses this concern completely.  The only possible problem I see with his method is that if there was a student who wasn't following along with the rest of the class, he or she could easily remain quiet or just pretend to answer along and the teacher would not be aware that this student does not understand; however, I still found Hewitt's methods to be a fun and creative way to teach mathematics, something that I'd definately like to try for myself!
